Afghan war Part 2?
Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

From where we are at today I see no other choice but to finish it. Where things stand today we really only have two choices, fight them here or fight them over there.
We just need to take the handcuffs off of our military and get shit done.

War (at least large scale battles) will be obsolete when we have the technology to kill any individual on the planet at any time to matter where they are. Just take out the leaders, one right after another.
We may already have the ability to do that...and if not, I think it's probably within 20 years.
The Soviets considered this decades ago. Check out "Second Hand".
In regards to the war against terrorism, I agree that we can't just turn tail and run again like we did in Iraq. Lowlifes like ISIS will move right in. It's really too bad we can't get more help from other nations to lock that place down, especially since they are the ones taking the biggest hits.
I like that Trump is chumming up with India and putting Pakistan on notice. I think Pakistan is key to this whole damn thing. "Nowhere to hide", Trump said. We might start going after the Taliban leaders on the other side of the border. I also think that Trump and his military leaders mean serious business once they lay down the law, and those on the other side of the table get it quick.
Not much news out of Syria these days, eh? China put a leash of their little lap dog, too.Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I am crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?

Concur 100%. Once we unleash the war dogs, we'll end this far quicker than we did prior with that idiotic ROE.
As far as Iraq goes, they never attacked us so we really didn't have justification for a scorched earth war, but Afghanistan was harboring Osama bin Laden, so we were justified. We should have never went into Iraq, but we should have had a full war with Afghanistan, collateral damage and all.
Further, we should have never armed and supported those terrorists in the first place.

Scott, you keep talking about what we "should or shouldn't have done". That is no longer the issue as it's all water under the bridge, I doubt you will find many that will argue we should have done things a lot different.
The BIG question is where do we go from today forward to meet our objectives.

Easier said than done, but get rid of ISIS and get out. This is applicable to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria.
No regime changes (unless that regime attacks us) or forced democracies; just eliminate the terrorists groups. When they pop up again, eliminate those too. Change the ROA so the military can do its job.
Stop protecting regimes and groups who don't share our values. No more weapons or support to anyone who supports terrorism or who is guilty of gross human rights violations.
Other than that, let Russia handle Syria. They want influence in that area. Let them have it. If they want to support Assad, let them do it. Assad has done nothing to the US. The groups fighting Assad have. Without US interference Assad and Russia will end the war quicker. It's better Russia's problem than ours.Utah is a very special and unique place.
