God Damn Admiral Cornhole is already giving up on the Marines.Yep. Says he served with them but apparently has no idea about how they operate. First he's giving them up, so he can blame Obama when they're captured. Then he wonders if they can protect themselves. If I were a marine, I'd kick his ass. Hell, I'd like to kick his ass anywayOriginally Posted by WTF
If we do decide to engage ISIS with troops on he ground, we have to be willing to live with the consequences of what happens if any are captured.YOU don't have to live with the consequences of shit. Obama and their commanders have to live with it. Which is why people are so ready to just throw them over there. They think it's like a video game and it's not. Putting troops on the ground isn't a decision to be made lightly. If he does decide to put troops on the ground, someone will be captured eventually and they will be made an example of and then people will lose their shit over that, asking why were we there in the first place and shitting all over THAT decision. He can't win.

#1, Obaminable acts like it's a video game .... he's playing ...You have to put words in my mouth. I never said an airman couldn't be captured. You have a bad habit of employing either/or scenarios ; I mentioned that ground troops could be taken hostage. That doesn't mean I think airmen can't be taken hostage. You've created that, not me. There are infinite possibilities depending on many factors. Don't be such a victim of binary thought. If just makes you look ignorant.
#2. The guy burned in a cage wasn't one of the "troops on the ground" ...
A U.S. gunship was just deployed in close ground support to thwart the attack.
Is there some reason you think someone on a gunship (or plane) can't get captured?
Particularly since it was a pilot who was burned to death?
I guess you voted for Obaminable 2x's. Right? Originally Posted by LexusLover

There is probably few, if any, U.S. citizens who have not been affected by the decisions and indecisions of our Presidents and "their commanders" at one time or another and in one way or another.
Just because some people don't "wear it on the sleeve" and whine about it, doesn't mean they still don't feel the pain and anguish. Each person deals with it in his or her own way .... some "resolve" it..... Originally Posted by LexusLoverJust as the Patriarch of the Idiot Klan, errr Clan, chooses to bitch and moan endlessly!

Actually my "bad habit" is revealing your bullshit ....You're all over the fucking place. I made a comment. You call it whining. I was referencing fighting isis, not the Yemen situation. And then you give me two examples of hostages. Two. And one isn't even American. That's it for you. On the ignore list you go. You take what I say and twist it till is what you want to hear. I'm done. And the irony of it all is I drive a Lexus. Later, chicken dick. Have fun circle jerking with your buddies
.. you whining about U.S. "troops" getting captured if they were ordered into combat with the TERRORISTS who attacked the base on which they were ordered to remain as a justification for not sending them into combat ..
as the U.S. population having no "stomach" for it ... is remarkably ludicrous and lacking in any comparative logic .... Example: John McCain was NOT a "boots on the ground" soldier ... neither was the Jordanian PILOT ....
.. but if we don't want U.S. servicemembers to get captured ....
why are U.S. servicemembers flying sorties and assisting "coalition" troops with gunship cover during TERRORIST attacks?
Hopefully we will not have to endure (or anyone else) any videos of the recent U.S. female civilian's demise, either before they decided to kill her or her execution .. but it wouldn't disable me with nausea ... it would just further piss me off that YOUR MAN in the White House was putting on a green somewhere not giving a shit while they were entertaining themselves with her!
May be if more people in this country actually observed the shit that was being done to those people over there (U.S. and otherwise) then even you would get pissed ... and support the effort to track down every last one of them and dispose of them ... until they quit and went home.
