A lot of FReepers are upset that Trump essentially pulled an Obama and launched missiles at Syria without a declaration of war, or any clear reason why we should be involved in any way.

Maybe we were hitting Iranian outposts to send them a message. Maybe with ongoing "Russia Russia Russia" from the left this was simply to show the public that Trump is willing to go toe-to-toe with them. Maybe Assad did use chemical weapons, although it doesn't make obvious sense that he would when he's on the cusp of victory and all we hear is that he is "believed" to have used chemical weapons.

I'm glad none of our guys were killed, I'm proud that as always our military was phenomenal in their execution of the objectives, and I think the Russians really out to think twice before opening their yaps, as if they could oppose our military in any notable way...But I still don't understand why any of what's going on in Syria concerns us.

Gen. Mattis stated emphatically, that he saw conclusive evidence of Syrians using chemical weapons, and added that the Russians assisted.

That extra nugget indicates solid evidence.
