I guess that makes you a better man than me.

I'd like to see ISIS give them the same treatment that Jordanian Pilot got.

I'm thinking it came long before that. Probably the day JFK was shot and LBJ began jacking up troop levels in Vietnam by the hundreds of thousands.

However, point taken and agreed with. The MIC is way out of control.

Because there is no statute of limitations on War Crimes, that's why. And Bush, Cheney, and at least a couple of dozen high ranking members of the Bush Administration who were Architects of the Iraq War are, as far as I am concerned, War Criminals and should be tried as such.

All without a SOFA agreement.

It is easy for Graham and McCain to talk about boots on the ground when it is other people's lives.
We are not fighting a conventional enemy, this is guerrilla warfare. What good is boots on the ground?

Keep in mid that with the US Army, 10,000 will net you about 1000 actual troops in maneuverable combat units.

I expect that it would give scumbag chickenhawk armchair warriors like Lindsey Graham the chance to pound their chests while running for president. I hope that neither Lindsey nor the rest of the Republican Clown Car will get that chance.

Maybe 2016 is the election year where the GOP candidate does not even matter. Maybe the GOP nominee is so pro-boots on the ground that it is a cakewalk for Hillary.
