…Significantly. "The scope of the war against the Islamic State is expanding. As outlined by the Washington Post on Sunday night, Turkey and the United States have reached an agreement that calls for a de facto "safe zone" along the Turkey-Syria border after militants are driven out of 40-mile wide, 68-mile-long area west of the Euphrates River.

Oh joy. Boots on the ground with no clear objective again. That has worked wonderfully in our last two wars over there. See the security we created for Iraq! Witness the freedom we have brought to Afghanistan! I'm sorry I'm bitter about this, but now it is personal. My nephew (National Guard, not Army) is being deployed to Syria as I am writing this. He signed on the dotted line for Truth, Justice, and the American Way, not to support Al-Quaeda defeat ISIS. I hope and pray that all soldiers from the rest of the world are safe and come through this; it is ridiculous for them to be there in the first place. I apologize if I broke any rules in this little rant, but like I said, it's personal. |
