The U.S. At War. How It Happens. Man: Can't you at least say something about the bad guys? Uncle Sam: I strongly condemn their actions. Man: It does no good to just talk. You have to fund the opposition. Uncle Sam: We have a deficit problem, so I'll just put that on my credit card. Man: Funding them isn't enough. They'll need weapons. Arms Deliverer: They all got stolen. Man: And weapons alone aren't enough. They'll need training. Uncle Sam: They all ran away. Man: We can't back down after all this. We need to see some boots on the ground. (boots sit next to the rifle and helmet laid where a soldier died)

It was also the product of opportuniistic, ambitious people. ISIS would not exist if the US and its allies had not been in Iraq and Afghanistan.
