    you are not supposed to do that to our bases and get away with it, and they did. that's not good.
    Or we could close many of our bases over there, bring the majority of our troops home and let those guys go back to their regional religious rock fights they have been having with each other for hundreds of years.

      the fact they accidentally shot down an airplane, which is predictable with their top general gone and forces fractured tells you they don't deserve to be calling the shots.

        we could. you could make a strong argument that the results would be the same.

          Neither does Trump.
          If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

            Besides the protesters who died and the airplane passengers that died we also have this.

            Thirty-Four U.S. Troops Were Diagnosed With Brain Injuries After Iranian Missile Attack

            The administration has downplayed these injuries, which complicate its narrative of this month's showdown with Iran.


            a bunch of guys with headaches according to Trump. No war anyway, so I guess that is good
