I thinks that it's already obvious that not all veterans think this and trying to pretend that they do. Is just being disingenuous on face value.

Maybe a poll of the vets here would answer that question to a degree.

Polls solve very little. Especially when you have no way of vetting who is actually answering them.

And I think that the overwhelming majority of US vets that worked with the Kurds against ISIS would tell you how much they appreciated and respected the courage, skill and the tenacity of the Kurd fighters, whom never shied away from fighting at the front lines of any and every pitched battle. Thus preserving the lives of hundreds, if not thousands of American soldiers. And this is how we repay them?

So you're calling US veterans who served in Iraq and Syria with the Kurds and appreciated their immense help against ISIS warmongering Democrats? You have truly lost your way.

You're dramatically overstating it, but yes that did happen from time to time.

Not to mention the fact that we've been talking about pulling out for a long time and only now for some reason. The left are not willing to just let us leave without throwing up their own morally hollow complaints.

This is war, it's not nice, or pretty, or romantic like one finds in a book. People tend to think that these decision should just come easy, but they don't. People were going to be dying either way and no matter what, Trump was going to have to make a decision.

Which sounds great on face value, but How that is done can and does matter.

BS! I'm overstating it! The Kurds lost 10's of thousands leaving the fight on the ground against ISIS. How many did the US lose? And I hope that someone puts in front of Trump or that he sees all the pictures and video of bloodied and dead innocent men, women and children and their burning homes because he had open up his big fat dumb mouth without consulting anyone. I hope he appreciates that their blood is on his hands and that his he now realizes that his words have very real consequences for people I'm sure he doesn't care anything about. This is a humanitarian and national security crisis in the making and it's all his fault.

Good to see that you can't treat him with the same kid gloves that you used for Obama.

Now get back to me when you're able to shed that false state morality that you're currently experiencing and return speaking like a rational adult.

Because this constant hyperbole is getting annoying.

You want Team America:World Police.....I don’t.

You want peace keepers bring in UN forces.

BS! You just called any US veteran who believes that Trump has betrayed a key US ally in the fight against ISIS and whom shouldered the vast brunt of the casualties so that we could proclaim 'mission accomplished, "democratic warmongers". You can either be a man and own up to it. Or scurry away with your tail between your legs. And given your S/N I think we all know which it is you will choose.

Interesting that you came to that conclusion from what I posted, nice try, guess again.

What annoys you is facts. I have them, you don't. Get back to me when President Cadet Bone Spurs grows a pair and a conscience.

No, but you certainly spell and post like you are. Now go on and scurry away like your namesake will end up having to do.

That would only hold true if you did in fact, possess facts. Which at this point you've failed on most claims that I've seen you "attempt" to present, or verbally push.

If I'm to be honest. This is most likely a case of racism on your part between your choice to treat Obama as you did and how you're currently flailing in such a puerile manner against Trump.

Kurds are being slaughtered by the Turks in the the hundreds as we speak. FACT

This is happening with the blessing of POTUS.

The death toll of our former allies will be in the tens of thousands before it is over.

The U.S. cannot be trusted by international allies. This proves it.

I guess they'll vote for Lieawatha....like they planned to

Why do you support turning your back on US allies and letting them be slaughtered. With friends like Trump who needs........Trump has no loyalty to anyone..... he's a total punk who has the world shaking their collective heads at us in disgust, and I don't blame them one little bit.

I'm 'racist' because of the way I treat Obama??? What kind of dumbass reasoning is that? Not to mention that Obama doesn't have a damn thing to do with what we are discussing here. You're going have to work better and harder than this to earn your stipend from the Russian troll factory.

Who knew Democrats loved war so much?

They hated Bush II's wars.

Until they became Obama's wars.

Then they stopped caring.

And now they love Bush II, saving their (out)rage for only Trump.

It's all very...

...odd.

:confused:

We've been talking about pulling out for a long time now and I for one did not like the idea of keeping our forces there on such a basis.

Saying that the Kurds are dying with Trump's blessing, is being intentionally dishonest.

This is war, people die, learn to deal with it.

The US's allies should learn to do things on their own eventually. We cannot be a permanent police force for nearly the entire planet.
