Did they get Syria's permission? Maybe, maybe not, could have gotten in secret for all we know.

I have friends who are active duty. They are all ready for war.

I have mixed feelings about this. I don't want any wars, but I know ISIS needs to be destroyed.

Dear Lord, walk with these Marines Each and every day.

Not doing something about ISIS is as bad as not bombing Auschwitz or standing by doing nothing during the awful machete genocide in Rwanda! Never again!

Care to tell us of all the benefit the US has gained from playing world police in places like Vietnam? Or at least point out just which Article of the Constitution tasks us with being the world's police?

In that case, you should know that rule number one in war is that people die or get maimed including family and friends.

ISIS people are like roaches. You can contain them for a while but they always come back.

How long have we been in Iraq now? Since 2003? And I don't believe for a minute that we left completely in 2011.

....and we're still fighting them....

Guess we didn't learn anything from the crusades.

There is a Bloomberg article about US army working with Russian army to fight Turkey army who are trying to protect one rebel group. There is some drastic change in approach.

Didn't I say that I have mixed feelings about this?

I only said "I know ISIS needs to be destroyed."

Please don't lecture me, Thank you. I doubt you have any solutions yourself.
