I ESPECIALLY HATE the fact that the are getting young men killed

Hate it all you like but some wars and military operations are absolutely necessary.

Terrorist acts like 9/11 and their aftermath are no better than deaths during wars.

The war in Afghanistan was absolutely necessary in order to bring those responsible for 9/11 to justice and to prevent more 9/11s.

War sucks but without we wouldn't remain a free, sovereign nation.

Iran threatens our freedom you say?

The failure of the U.S. government to close our border and cancel all visas from Islamic countries pretty much exposes your rationale for occupying Afghanistan for 18 years as a farce.

Invading and occupying these Islamic sh!t-holes did nothing to stop the multiple acts of terrorism carried out by Muslim mutants right here in the U.S. SINCE 9/11.

You might want to try a new line of propaganda. That one is a joke.

Then we should have gone after the people responsible for 9-11...and the people responsible for most of the terrorism in the world - per the Bush doctrine. He lied. I was lied to.

When I heard the Bush Doctrine first described - I was fully on board. Then - we went into Iraq - and NOT Iran. Then - we screwed around in Afghanistan and still are for 17 years with STILL stupid ROEs (notice changing a CINC hasn't changed squat). We are still buddies with the Saudis.

If you want to get enlightened go to YouTube and watch "The Secret History of ISIS" from Frontline. Watch Colin Powell lie his a$$ off. As someone who came very close to dying over there and leaving behind a wife and two young sons - it's infuriating to me.

I don't trust the intel branches as far as I can throw my car. Seriously - go watch that Frontline - and look at what they still do - and tell me we can trust them NOW to put our kid's lives in harms way for the Saudis.
