I couldn't agree more. I'm so tired of the chickenhawk Monday morning generals that love to vomit up 'boots on the ground' when discussing ISIS; this includes Hillary Clinton. I simply don't understand how some can be so cavalier about sending young, usually poor, kids to their deaths; and for what? Saudi Arabia spends the fourth most of any country on their military, let them deal with it.
Exactly. We've armed the Saudis, the Jordanians, the Israelis, and the Bahrainis in the region. It's their asses on the line. Let them handle the issue.
These little fuckers in Washington are perfectly willing to stand behind our troops "every step of the way". Except they can't walk nearly as big as they talk.
And while I'm at it, I want to say a word or two about John McCain. I respect the service he has given this country both in and out of uniform, but fucking Christ, the guy hasn't seen a war he doesn't like.
