:cheers:I agree 100%.

On the plus side, I applaud Trump getting us to quit our never ending, ongoing forever wars that have brought our country nothing but wasted cost and wasted blood.

Mattis was very much a part of the upper echelon of our top most military leaders, none of which has ever actually won a war.  It's unfortunate our presidents of late, including Bush and Obama built their foreign policies on the advice of such overtly incompetent military advice!!

Fuck Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan -- let's get our roads back in shape, repair our falling bridges, and catch up with the rest of the civilized world that has 200 mph trains.

Reality.

General Mattis just issued the order for US troops to move out of Syria. It's official.
I wish I could get upset about it because all the news networks seem to think I should, CNN seems to be opposed to it as well as Fox.
I just don't think we belonged there anyway.  Nor in Iraq. Nor in Afghanistan.
It's time to rebuild America's infrastructure and put some of that military money into cutting down on our carbon footprint. 
I don't care how many wars we win if the environment  keeps eroding as quickly as it has in the past few years. This weather is NOT normal.

At the beginning of the week the leftist talkingpoint was that our involvement in Yemen was killing innocents.

Then by the end of the week it was that withdrawing from Syria was a gift to russia and isis.

You can't make this shit up.

And what in heaven's name gives you the faintest hope that this will be done anytime soon, what with an ignoramus climate change denier in the highest seat in the land??
