    Yes, I would like to hear how you would go about winning. Supporting dictators and major lengthy wars didn’t work very well. Perhaps you have a really clever idea?

    I have an idea. Quit killing innocent Muslim women and children, not to mention innocent Muslim men. All we’re doing now is recruiting for ISIS and Al Qaeda.

    Al Qaeda was created by mohammed, 1400 years ago. Islam has been on a 1400 year march to conquer the earth. So call islamic terrorist follow the doctrine of mohammed and they do not deviate. The so called moderate muslims will not go against the terrorist, because to do so they would be rightly called an Apostate and thus subject to a cruel death.

    Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran and other islamic countries finance these terrorist.In order to stop the terrorist we must stop the flow of money which finance the terrorist.

    Maybe we should stop playing the game. -Maybe enter the game when/if any nations close to ISIS feel threatened enough to act.

    Did I say that? The comment was regarding Muslim women and children, and the words were used to “stop” killing them, thus implying it is to halt current activity. The ROE in-theater are ridiculous to avoid any sort of civilian casualties. LGB’s are precision weapons, and there have been numerous reports of them killing their own people or bombing their own mosques and blaming us for it to use in recruiting videos. In the past, war was a messy business, and both sides killed civilians to get at the enemy. WW2 was a perfect example of that. Look how many people died in London, France, Russia, etc. Compare that to current Rules of Engagement, and you will see it is vastly different now. But my guess is neither you nor opednance had the stones to swear the oath and go over there, so you couldn’t be expected to know. Our troops die to prevent civilian casualties, but you wouldn’t know or expect that because your liberal mindset insulates you from the horrors of war. My guess is you’ve never had a gut check. And I’m not talking about whether to charge a yellow light and see if you can make it through. I’m talking about seeing a 14-year-old child walking towards a military checkpoint, laden with explosives and ball bearings, crying because he knows he is going to die. And he is crying because if he doesn’t do this for the insurgency, his parents and siblings will be killed along with him. And so the troops at that checkpoint have to make the call about shooting a child or letting them and their entire squad die. Could you make that call? Could you pull that trigger? I highly doubt it. THAT is the horror of war, and that is what we as troops have to live with. War is messy, and the lines are blurred. And for you to criticize us for killing civilians is exceptionally rude and shows how small of a person you really are.

    Can’t drinke tea, coffee, or soda, but wear magic underwear. Light a candle to a saint and get your prayers answered. “God” gave us this land, so screw you! Can’t drive a car, man or woman, and the women and men wear funny clothes, ride behind horses in wagons, and reject all technology.

    Nah, Islam has the only radical ideas and beliefs. And of course only Muslims have started any wars since, like well, Abraham.

    Just a note; anyone realized how many “terrorist” groups have formed around the world, not just religious, specifically as a result of U.S. interventions in THEIR countries? Think of Central and South Amercia, Africa, and well, Asia. How much of that intervention was on the behest of Corporate empire building?
