Wow! The new slur against the anti-war faction on DU is "peace purists"

260. Question

How long do you have to serve in the military before you have been hit in the head enough that you can't see futility right before you? As we pull out of Afghanistan, the hated enemy the Taliban is moving right back in. A few thousand lives and a few trillion dollars later and we have accomplished nothing.

On to Syria. We are opposing bad guys led by Assad. We are supporting bad guys affiliated with AQ who are sworn to destroy us. So while opposing bad guys who are backed by Iran who also supports Hamas which backs the Muslim Brotherhood which is opposed to Assad, we support and oppose bad guys backed by Iran either directly or indirectly.

Tell me again about these tactics. I think you might have them down, but strategy seems to be lacking. There is no way this ends well no matter what we do. If we weaken Assad we have a another secular state where radicalized people are in charge. If we don't weaken Assad we look impotent as a military power.

It is a lose lose situation for us. If Iran attacks Israel in retribution it is a lose lose for Isreal and Iran. So tell me how this ends well for anyone. Because I just don't see it.
