This latest increase brings things to a total of 3,550 American troops on the ground in Iraq sent there by Obama. And the immoral dirtballs of the leftist 20 percenter democrat party and deranged right-winger gop-er party barely bat an eye.
The leftists couldn't give a shit because Hypocrisy is their M.O.: Raise hell in the streets about foreign military involvement, but only if the current president has an "R" next to his name. If it's instead a "D", then circle the wagons and either remain silent or defend the dolt democrat no matter what he/she orders. Such Guts and Conviction! Douchebags.
The right-winger slugs ain't gonna say much either, because most of them embrace (or are at least highly sympathetic to) the view that it's America's job to kill bad guys, topple evil regimes, and otherwise police the world -- no matter how many young American men and women have to die for very little reason in the process...
That's classic W Bush/Cheney neo-con thought, which even Obama over the years has been shown to accept to a degree, and it's horseshit. The U.S. government has no business ever getting our military involved in foreign wars or incursions unless it's absolutely necessary -- which is almost never the case.
The last time a democrat party president gradually built up an army of military "advisors" in a foreign land, we got the disastrous Vietnam War campaign of the 60s and 70s -- a terrible era that left lasting scars upon the soul of the nation that never seem to heal almost 50 years later.
Today, the demonic "islamic state" poses plenty of threats to us at our borders and within our country, but poses no threat to us in Iraq and Syria. Obama should get our 3,550 troops the hell out of there. Yesterday.
