The will is weak because the threat is weak/ non existent. Even the returning troops see the futility and damage that our actions are causing. Why do you think twenty some a day off themselves?

Non better, just a lot more... Picture the difference between a 2 act off- Broadway play, and the Circus. With The Donald in the mix, it's truly "The Greatest Show on Earth".

There have been several studies concerning military suicides. I don't think your assertion was a primary finding.

If you think carpet bombing is what will solve the problem in the middle east then by all means vote for Ted Cruz as thats what he's calling for..

We know what was said, but it's been covered numerous times in this thread, but several people, that he doesn't mean he would literally carpet bomb the ME. Why do Democrats have such a hard time with this? I guess it's because there is nothing positive to say about their candidates, so they just want to attack the Republicans.
