Any wars or conflict we been in since WWII has been a total waste! But I as anyone else can have there thoughts on last two conflicts plus the one we might enter in, Syria. Let me be brief about Iraq.... Statement time...we went there on total under false pretense...a bold face lie. Let me talk briefly about Afghanistan in a chit chat terms. One can't go in and change a group of people or individual. These people in Afghanistan lives in a tribal life style and been living this way for generations. Opinion time...The odds are really against you if you believe you can change a person or an area. The only thing a person can change is him or her self. Usual this is done by small steps. No one can do 180 degree turn about. If one decides to do a personal spin about it's done in such small internments. Opinion time...We can't change the people or the way Afghanistan people live or thoughts. We may made a very tiny different in these people life but it was to costly in lost of lives. The two wars was ran on the credit card. At this point the conflict in Syria is looking the same as any other up rising in the middle east. Question time...What kind of changes will come to Syria if you United States enter in anther conflict there. Not a darn thing it will end up as the same last two conflicts we been in the last two conflicts. Look at the results. Question time...If we decided to enter in a war in Syria how will it be fought....The last two war was fought by young men and or woman usual of lower means. Actual only small percentage of the population actual took part in last two wars. So if it comes right down to it there was hardly in skin off large percentage of the population. Statement time...I'm sorry for those who have to endure the pain, suffer , and lost of love ones. If we enter in Syria, entire citizen of a country must take part ; doesn't matter of the size he or she takes part. I don't mean just stand and cheer when our people of arm forces are present. WWII was a war that was actual fought with more then arm troops. An entire county was involved. At that time people use ration stamps on many items; people grew victory gardens. and we also at that time sold war bonds and had much higher tax rates.
I do have empathy for the children and people of Syria. But I question are involvement will actual do any good or make things worst over there.
Coffee is on.
Editor Notes...Since I type this things have changed with Syria

You raised some very good questions in this article. I like the way you left some thought to the reader instead of imposing your opinion throughout. Very balanced for a particularly tough topic to discuss.

ReplyDeleteWith multi-million dollar missiles and bombs. Our government appears to like to spend a hell of a lot of money while killing people.
