Trump apparently doesn't realize that we already have significant forces, even on the ground, already fighting ISIS -- about 500 in Syria and 4,500 in Iraq.

Clearly our definition of "significant" is vastly different..
I saw that on Face The Nation, I think he was trying to say he'd make Turkey do it (somehow) or other NATO partners because they "don't do enough". The best I could figure he was saying he'd threaten to leave NATO if they don't step up? It was hard to tell.
Not that it makes sense. But that was what I gathered.
He can't send troops for the very same reason Obama can't. Unfortunately far too many are willing to look the other way where these foolish wars are concerned as long as very few American soldiers are killed.
As soon as that number starts escalating things will get ugly.
The only redeeming value I see in Trump winning is it should bring the anti war folks back out of hiding.
Hawkish rhetoric and very little troops? Looks like Trump is fine doing the same exact thing Obama has been doing, guess he's just going to call it something else.
"I am going to have very few troops on the ground. We're going to have unbelievable intelligence, which we need; which, right now, we don't have. We don't have the people over there," he said.
How does he plan to have "unbelievable intelligence" that we don't have now?
Keep in mind that because of Obama, we have "very few troops" to begin with and add that to ISIS living in the US in many of our cities. So, when we go after ISIS, what will the ones living in the US do, those ones that have been training and recruiting?
Not another blood bath like Iraq. That crap needs to stop. We are not the only country with a military, but it always falls on us. We have our own problems and ISIS to deal with at this time and the Dems have just let it take off like "a house a fire".

To be fair, the bar isn't set very high right now.

You need to find Trump the unbelievable intelligence because he doesn't know where to look.
