half billion dollars to train five people for Syria

The MIC needs to be drastically shut down. We were suppose to train five thousand people to fight the regime and ISIS. We are destroying the nation state of Syria. Israel is safer, but at what price is our complicity in the destruction of Syria and Iraq nation states, and why are the American taxpayers spending a half billion on training five people to fight in this horror created by Saudi Arabia and Israel. Shame on America. Shame on the traitors among us. Shame on President Obama for not taking more refugees after vetting. We have become the very thing that our greatest generation fought in Europe during World War II. It is time to remove ourselves from a region where not one refugee has been taken by the Saudis.........a corrupt monarchy which feels threatened for good reasons by the people of the region, and we are a puppet on strings where the highest bidder owns America and our kids and wealth.

It's your POTUS who can't commit to Syria or enforce a red line he draws in sand

No it is a Military which is flushing more money down the toilet. We need to cut our military and get the hell out of the Middle East. Five hundred million could build a lot of CNC machines which actually manufacture things and contribute to this nation's strength. Subsidizing MIC does not make America stronger. It makes this nation weaker. We need to cut military spending. That 500 million was just one more military spending fiasco......which since 2001 has become the norm as garbage bags of money and billions have been lost to waste and inefficiency. Cut spending....PERIOD!
