If we stop supplying ISIS with warfighting material, my guess is they will spend time beheading each other.

We have our oil.

If I were perfectly honest, I would say...”I don’t care.”

I am tired of sending my friends and family over there for a year at a time.

We need to declare war the old fashioned way.
We need mobilize the old fashioned way.
We need to define victory, the old fashioned way.
We need to destroy our enemies, and come home.

We play at war...with the lives of my friend and family.

Its not necessary. And its not right.

Well, to also be honest, you don't send anyone. Our soldiers are volunteers.

Additionally, One of the lessons of WWI that was fortunately learned in WWII is that if you fight, win, and leave, you will be back sooner than you think. We applied that to both Europe and Japan after WWII but a certain Obama admin ignored it in Iraq spawning ISIS and our current dilemma. Whether you think going into Iraq was right or wrong, we went in, fought, won, and subsequently left. That is the strategy you prescribe, but what did it leave? It left a spawning ground for future 911's.

I don't like to see any of our brave, fine volunteers getting killed overseas, but Americans do have short memories when it comes to history lessons.
