US military aircraft conduct strike on ISIL artillery. Artillery was used against Kurdish forces defending Erbil, near US personnel.

Dragged into another Mid-East conflict? We need a president who will promise to not get us involved in Mid-East wars and eliminate needless costs, both financial and in terms of US lives, associated with such actions. Then there's the possibility that it's being done in serving the interests of the US military-industrial complex.

And what we done for that Marine being held in Mexico? Are air strikes imminent there as well?

So is there a problem with the military striking artillery that is homing in on US personnel?

Well, if US personnel weren't where they don't belong striking that artillery wouldn't be necessary, eh?

I believe we need a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting a POTUS from deploying combat troops anywhere for longer than 60-90 days without a formal Declaration of War form congress, as it is we go to war far too easily.

Why should the U.S. expend any effort to rescue an idiot who breaks the law in another country? He'll have to deal with the Mexican law just like anyone else who breaks the law in Mexico. His being a Marine doesn't negate his idiocy, nor his having to deal with the consequences of his idiocy.
