I have to stop short of giving this kudos because we're going to be sending a very small number of men to deal with an escalating situation, which always results in losses on our side. Nonetheless, yep. Boys are going to war.

I'm not surprised. Teens are the best bullet fodder a government can find.

Been offline for a couple of days, and saw this first thing in the morning.
Trump should be sent to the front if there's any fighting.

You want to hold Trump to declaring war?

Why did every other administration since 1942 get a pass?
It never was ok, just because nobody intervened.
He plotted against american citizes, tuff. So do all people of this sort all the time, and its the CIA from whom these people took their lessons. Still doesnt make assassinating him ok, particularly not doing it publicly. So please stop pretending otherwise. You are exhibiting the political short sightedness of a stereotypical american that has led to the US being stuck in this quagmire of middle east and making it even worse for everyone. Lets not forget it was the CIA who started all this shit back in the 50s (Mossadegh). So please stop waving your american flag. Is embarassing.
What i would like Trump to do?: Pretty simple. Stop assassination of foreign dignitaries.
In the 50s and 60s (or 70s, Chile) the USA at least had the decency to keep some plausible deniability by letting the CIA do the dirty laundry. Looks like we got way ahead of that.
Lets also not forget that his guy was substantial to taking down IS. He also was one of the first whom helped the US after 9/11 to orchestrate the takedown of the Taliban and Al Qaeda. How politically monumentally stupid beyond negelegence is it to assasinate such a guy, just because he oppposed your own policies after that? How hypocritical is it to first cooperate with him (guessing he was using the same methods and tools as of now) when its in your interest and then assassinate him when he stops being useful?
This guy was a sectarian warlord who helped Shiite gangs through the region to pulverize civilians.
He wasn't substantial, I mean he got wasted in an airstrike just like most common criminals around the globe.
Where is he from other succeful terrorists that knew at least how to cheat airstrikes? What he did against IS was simply a scorched-earth tactic that involved the mass murder of civilians, I don't call becoming Assad's sectarian punishing hand an achievement.

I’m just gonna leave this here:
To be fair, some of Van Riper’s tactics are unlikely to have been realistic for the Not-Iranian force he was simulating, but then again, do you really think Iran would follow orders to not shoot down US aircraft, turn on anti-aircraft radar so their own planes could be easily shot down, and even GIVE THE US THE LOCATIONS TO THEIR OWN FORCES? If your answer is yes, I can only say, wow, I didn’t know any of the top brass in the U.S. Military posted here.

Can you imagine how bad they could make the US look if they took the high road and did not respond with violence?
It's hard -but not impossible- to expect such a scenario.
If they took the high road it's out of desperation; not tactic.
Such hit is only enough to start "a new looooong war" enough for Trump to escape impeachment.

Small enough to make a skirmish; so Trump find a way out of the impeachment road

Yes. Peoples' life is not a game; but looks like he believed that he has the right to so.

I am sure we will find out that the bonespurs are genetic and Beavis and Butthead Trump also suffer from them.
