"You are not going to win anything with 2000 troops in a country filled with the Syrian Army, the Russians, the Iranians, the Kurds, the Turks, Syrian Rebels and A few Al Queda and Isis scattered around."

That's what the most likely picks for Secretary of Defense said, and what every honest officer will say. They want a larger force in Syria. This was intended to be the time for the last step in the War on Terror, which we were told would last 30 years or more.

There was a strategic reason for the chosen sequence of countries involved. I'm surprised it isn't obvious to more American men...but then not so surprised, given what has happened to our society since 1968.

Maybe President Trump could get Ron Paul to be the Secretary of Defense. That would please Uncle Ivan and his short buddy almost as much as it would our 68er constituency.

Seriously, dude?

The "War on Terror" (whatever the hell that means) officially ended when the Bush administration allowed Iraq to adopt a new consitution with a provision that established Islam as the official state religion.

No offense, but anyone who took this "War on Terror" nonsense seriously after that is really delusional.
