yea i think if you're going to offer to put our troops in the middle of a shooting gallery like Syria then you should have served and at least understand why you're asking our troops to do something thats pretty friend'd up .
You have 0 problem with Trump ordering military action. Amazing.
the standard argument appears to be to protect the Kurds from the turks. of the many forces in Syria the only one we actually have a formal alliance with is the turks.
No it’s not you fool. We weren’t having to fight to protect the Kurds. The presence of United States forces alone deterred Turkey’s military action against them. You’re telling me our “great ally” Turkey would murder United States soldiers so the United States should stand down against them?

You don’t even meet the requirements to work at fedex. That’s because you’re a meme personified. A black guy who smokes weed, listens to gangster rap and votes democrat because his people are oppressed.

Seriously grow up.
Vaping and dabbing is the preferred method these days. Grow up, son.

Try a fith of your favorite 80 proof beverage, a hash dipped blunt and a Xanax and now you probably are seeing God.
You are one miserable person, aren't you? Life is too short to harbour so much anger and hatred. Do yourself a favor and lighten up and enjoy life. Have a drink and smoke a blunt. It will open your mind and heart;)

Oh please, you people smoke blunts.

Because you’re memes.

I use to make honey oil using butane extraction when I was still in high school.

You were probably getting skimped on dime bags and smoking your daddies roaches.

You don’t understand Jihad. These people are not done killing us just because you’re tired of “endless wars”. You’re merely kicking the can down the road and allow the problem to escalate, a proud boomer tradition.

"Endless wars" aren't escalating the issue? Endless fighting isn't "kicking the can down the road"? It certainly isn't solving the problem. We are just keeping the fighting off our soil. If you think that's a win, I can't blame you. I certainly wouldn't want the fighting here either. But, endless wars are not sustainable. The further we drive ourselves into debt, the greater the risk to national security. We need to come up with a better way to handle the situation, or we will be facilitating our own destruction.

My personal Vietnam was not catching AIDs.

They all promise that fren. It would take a complete jackass to actually do so.

America spends 50% of the world’s military budget. We are the only country with enough resources to prevent the rise of Islamist caliphates around the world. It’s easy to say that’s not our problem, but when they plot massive terror attacks on American soil and promise jihad against the west it becomes our problem.

One of the most dishonest argument I see is that’s thousands of miles away why should America be involved?

Yes Osama Bin Ladin was thousands of miles away as well when plotting 9/11.

We have a massive volunteer army. They sign up to fight for america’s interest. America has a strong interest in “policing” the Middle East and not letting the terror cells go unchecked.
First off "My personal Vietnam...."......really? Second, are we in every Muslim country? There are Muslims who lived in Western Europe who fought for ISIS. From the U.S. even. Muslims in Malaysia and Indonesia who've committed terrorist acts against Westerners. Are you going to play jihadist whack-a-mole all over the world? Where are our troops in those countries? We went into Syria because Assad was willing to use chemical weapons against civilians. And because of ISIS. If we have accomplished our goals we should get out. The U.S. still has troops stationed around the world as well as the world's premier navy and air force. We can project power where needed quickly. What I think you want is to see us inflict pain on civilian populations who don't want us in their countries. Grow up already.

Excellent point and Trump has demonstrated he can hurt a country and cause unrest without using physical bombs.

Man!
I like the thought and logic you put into your posts.
Kudos!

Turkey is pretty much the big thug in the region. The Kurds can be helpful at times but they are no saints either. The Kurd group in Turkey is pro communist radicals that the Turks have been fighting for generations. The Kurds in Syria are related but different people. I agree its wrong to screw over the Kurds but its not a situation we really should have been involved in to start with. I don't like the Turks but they can probably provide stability to the area. Seems like a situation with no right answers.
