We won't be able to defeat ISIS without extensive forces on the ground, and I don't mean Arab allies. You can't win a 4th generation war with airpower alone.
We don't be able to defeat them regardless.

Why not? Why should Americans worry about ISIS?

Well...because it's not working.

I said just a few days ago on here that I hope Trump doesn't get addicted to the people praising him about "being tough" and start to just bomb the **** out of everybody because his poll numbers go up.
I'm not sure why or what we bombed yet (haven't read an article), but I hope Trump doesn't get too comfortable using force of this magnitude on a regular basis.
Oh, something tells me he'll get quite comfortable.
And we didn't bomb anything.

Hmmmph....you and me both. BTW...i don't think we touched a hair on ISIS's head with that bomb.

LOL....Why not just let you keep saying silly things?

LOL.
I know. I saw his post and was immediately embarrassed for him.

It's unlikely that it killed anyone at all...least of all ISIS.

Do you know how many nations had to take Germany down?
Let that role off your tongue for a second - 16 million dollars.
Conservatives should be outraged the U.S. is spending hundreds of millions to buy these things.
Actually, I would think most conservatives are outraged that libs would rather see the US undefended, weak, and cowering in fear against an enemy entrenched in barbarism that would kill us all if they had access to the same weapons.
Logic dictates one of these bombs should be used when and where ever the need arises, along with whatever effective tactic or ordinance is required to defeat an enemy that started the hostilities in the first place.
Presidents take credit all the time for the wise decisions of their Generals -- & take heat for the bad decisions -- well the ones with integrity take the heat.
So yes -- if this is all a good thing - is is on Trump.
But let's keep it in perspective. We haven't solved any world issues yet.
We'll see if Trump comes around on this. Back in January, "the generals" were responsible for the death of a Navy Seal on a mission.
