Gov. Scott Walker: Don't Rule Out 'Boots on the Ground' Against ISIS

Since when did you care about Obama's head?

there are many Americans who have said that they would like to see Obama dead. Should we bomb their houses?



ISIS didn't attack us, we attacked ISIS.

Threaten to kill POTUS, invite the wrath of the US.
 
It's very relevant. Now, what branch of service are your kids serving in?

Why are you making this personal when I have NOT advocated that anyone serve in a war? It is those who are advocating such a thing that the question demands an answer since they demand the lives and sacrifices of other.

I AM NOT MAKING THAT DEMAND so you have no right to make my history an issue.

But it does show me how desperate the advocates of blood and death are when they have to resort to such foul tactics and personal attacks.
 
"These threats"? Threats to whom?
The regions democracies, religious minorities, women and any journalists that get in their way. They've also sworn an oath to harm US interests and persons when capable. Playing dumb isn't valid foreign policy.
 
Why would you ask me such a personal question which has nothing to do with the topic?

Because I would like to know if you have the first clue what it's like to put on the uniform and accept the risk that you may one day be told to place your soul in harms way.
 
The regions democracies

Can you provide a list of those?

religious minorities

ISIS is "religioius minority".

women and any journalists that get in their way.

So how is that any different than Saudi Arabia?

They've also sworn an oath to harm US interests and persons when capable. ...

Half the world has idiots who have sworn that same oath...going back for at least two hundred years. We don't start a war with half the world. Playing dumb isn't valid foreign policy.

What it shows, is that no matter out of control things become, it will NEVER be your kids that have to eventually deal with the fall out from the inaction of inept and ***** assed politicians who are more worried about their own temporary image. It's easy for you to advocate impotence, because no matter what, your kids will be safe at home while someone else feels the sting of battle in their stead.
 
Can you provide a list of those?

Israel, Turkey, Lebanon. Not to mention the havoc wreaked upon an interim democracy in Iraq.

ISIS is "religioius minority".

ISIS is comprised of fundamenlist and radical muslims and have made it a point to kill christians and other sects of the islamic faith.

So how is that any different than Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia has not sworn to overthrow surrounding governments or lay siege to the West and all those who support it.

Half the world has idiots who have sworn that same oath...going back for at least two hundred years. We don't start a war with half the world. Playing dumb isn't valid foreign policy.

That's a complete fabrication. You're way smarter than this dude.

Isn't there a Veterans Tourette Help Group ?

Some vets here think they are the only ones who have ever served. There are tons of vets everywhere. I have vets in my workplace male and female. I have neighbors who are vets. I have son, dad, uncles ,great grandfathers, cousins and even myself. My two grandfathers weren't vets so I guess they count less.

Being a vet doesn't make you that unique.
 
Re: Constitutional requirement to defend the nation

So....can I assume that you are against everything the US Constitution does not require? Let's eliminate the massive entitlement system. Let's eliminate obamacare.
Isn't defense of the states the only Constitutional requirement? Article 1 Section 8 and Article 2 provide the mandate for the federal government to protect the states.

I suppose we should not have fought in WWII or WwII until we were forced to fight without allies or access to the nation's terrain of our enemies. I accept wide latitude for the federal government so spy externally, and to a limited degree internally. I also accept wide latitude for offensive and defensive engagements the world over if they advance a strategy to defeat this nation's enemies before they are capable of invasion or direct attack against us.

Not everyone is so thoughtful. Some wish to turn the Constitution into a suicide pact.

Our experience makes us unique. Unique in the fact that we understand that when we took the oath and put in the uniform, that we accept the reality that one day we may be ordered to put ourselves in harm's way and at that moment the politics don't mean jack ****. We also understand that if we don't do it, someone else will have to, because the events will take place with us, or without us and that indecision and inaction will cost more lives than it will save.

Regional democracies? Give me a list. Why are american men and women defending all the above in the region? I haven't seen those reasons in a declaration of war.

Playing dumb how?

I'm glad you feel really special and "unique".

We're not cowards who hide behind indecision and among Liberals, that makes us very unique.

So no liberals ever served in the military?

This is not a good time for me, tomorrow is better, but Israel is not a democracy.

More tomorrow.
 
And we weren't attacked by Iraq when Clinton was POTUS. Of course we weren't attacked or even provoked by Iraq when Bush was POTUS either, yet he decided to go to war against Iraq.

Neither of those statements are true.

We were attacked thousands of times from 1992 to 2003 while enforcing the no-fly zones set up in Northern Iraq to protect the Kurds and in Southern Iraq to protect the Shia' minority. A few spans of years saw daily attacks on our forces.
 
Because I would like to know if you have the first clue what it's like to put on the uniform and accept the risk that you may one day be told to place your soul in harms way.

Knowledge is a good thing in and of itself. However, I AM NOT advocating that anyone put on the uniform and accept the risk that you are talking about. Ask your question to those who are advocating such a thing.

Must have killed you to vote for Romney.

Preach to those who advocate the killing of others children.

If Iraq warplanes were flying over the US, don't you think we would be shooting at them?

Which part of the constitution says that we should be "enforcing the no fly zones...in Iraq"?

And we wonder why those people hate us so much.

In 1980, when there was no war involving American personnel, there were 1,556 American servicemen who died in training accidents, serving their country. But, we know neither you, nor your kids will ever be one of them.
