I am not sure why the media keeps heralding that Trump has no policies and is weak on specifics when I have heard several specifics in his speeches. In fact I will say that I have heard more about Trump's policies than any other candidate. I believe Hillary has taken 7 questions from the press in the last 2 months or so?

I hope he plans on sending HIS son's over to fight ISIS if we are talking boots on the ground. Them being such powerful hunters and all.

No, he will send those who volunteered to fight. The rest of us sit back and watch.

Vs playing politics like Bush and the rest of the GOP want to do by sending troops to Iraq until Democracy magically kicks in... Trump has a plan to kill them at the source. The rest just want to occupy Iraq and be their military force.

Personally, I would rather just stick with drones and blow up their oil. Then come back to blow it up again when they rebuild. I don't think we should send boots because it isn't needed.
