Amen, brotherI think that stuff has always been used to win the hearts and minds. I'd rather we just kill who needs killing and let them pick up the pieces. If they didn't want the bombs to fall, they shouldn't have phucked around.

How long and under what circumstances did you serve in the military?We fight them over there, so we don't have to fight them here.
This decision by the bone-spur-in-chief is a major tactical blunder. Anybody with a modicum of sense understands this.
It's not a case of we (the west) are better than another country, we are just different. They have as little desire to live like us as we do to live like them and they have been doing it longer. So as soon as we leave they go back to business as usual, the next day.This decision by the bone-spur-in-chief is a major tactical blunder. Anybody with a modicum of sense understands this.
10 - 11,000 of those "extreme communist terrorists" died putting away ISIS. If it hadn't of been for them you would have seen a lot more body bags coming back to the US. The presence of those 28 - 50 US Special Forces were keeping the entire area stable. Until back stabbing inept Trump came along. Who in their right mind would trust the US now?

The world knows what CNN tells them. They are so full of TDS and leftist bias. I can only guess at the truth because I don't know what it is. What I believe is the handful of troops we have there were in danger. I don't believe they are expendable.
The narrative that certain people won't attack because US forces are there ignore the last 20 years. There has been no shortage of people shooting at us.

You lack the understanding of how SF is utilized. Although SF are bad-assed snake eaters who are mentally wired, and physically conditioned to endure "less than optimal" field conditions, their primary mission is "force multipliers". That means they get schooled in the local flora, fauna, culture, and immersed in the local language before deployment. They then develop and train indigenous people (based on their prior training of the culture) into a fighting force, then "advise" them when conducting operations.
Although they can be, SF isn't (and never has been) a "primary" fighting force on the battlefield. They're a relatively über scarce, and precious military asset (ratio wise), and shouldn't be squandered.
So, you learned all about tactics at The War College, did ya? BTW- this is a "strategic" issue, not a "tactical" one.
Lemme tell ya something about "career" generals and senior officers that are climbing the "promotion ladder". They love war, it's all they live and train for. Without a real war all they have is "pretend" simulations, and if you think they don't love testing out all their "pet" weapons systems, tactics, basking in the glory, the medals & awards, the recognition, the POWER over others, and don't forget the sweet lucrative book deals afterwards... then your sorely lacking in your perspective.
Of course they never want to leave the area....

How many of our soldiers have been killed or maimed in Germany or Japan in the last 70 years?As for "being there forever". I suppose we ought to pack up and get out of Germany and Japan too while where at it.
Do you really believe that anything in that region (Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan) is worth your son or daughter's life?
