There must be a stable country in the area that's capable of fighting them and in more immediate danger from them than we are, what about Iran? I'm not saying no-one should fight them, I just don't see how we can improve the situation
And if you want to fully destroy them and make sure they don't come back then surely at some point we have to send in ground troops and then stay there indefinitely, that's hardly a good solution
Counterproductive to our interests and wasteful of past action. Iraq was supposed to be a bulwark against Iran. What sense would it make to invite Iran, now, to overrun Iraq...even if they could and were interested? -One- of the reasons to deal with ISIS ourselves, currently, is to retain some measure of control as to who fills the vacuum in the region.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
