Yeah, the democrats were going off the deep end when we hit Iraq and Afghanistan. They better be just as critical if numbnuts bombs Syria.

I agree with the premise of the photo. We need to worry about, and spend our money on, domestic issues.

F*** everyone else.

And exactly why I detest both the democrats and the republicans.

Hard to believe the Operation Desert Storm commenced on August 2, 1990 and 23 years later we're still sending troops into combat in that part of the world.

Just to put it into perspective we were directly involved in World War I combat for about a year and a half, World War II for about 4 years, the Korean War about 3 years, and the Vietnam War for 10 years.

In other words, our combat involvement in Vietnam, Korea, World War II, and World War I combined wasn't as long as our combat involvement in the Middle East and Afghanistan.

You'd have to add in the Spanish-American War (6 months) and the Civil War (4 years) to equal the 23 years time we've been fighting in the Middle East and Afghanistan.

As far as the politicians are concerned. Everyone of them should have to do a tour of duty as a pleb in the armed forces 1 for 1 for each year they serve in their elected office (making the pay & benefits that a pleb makes). Put them at the point in Iraq for a year and see how long or how often they will want to bomb some chit pile of a foreign country over a purely political objective. 🌫 🐴
