I dont want to see war anymore than anybody... i just dont see iran backing down.. i only see them emboldened and escalating... when do you think we should take action? after they have delivered a nuclear bomb?

Depends, were any Soldiers hurt?

It now seems as though being an active member of the military has to come with a guarantee that fighting for the country isn't part of the deal. Just a guaranteed paycheck and nobody gets hurt. Well, nobody in the military gets hurt that is. Civilians that the military has sworn to protect can be slaughtered and they don't matter.

I do not believe that is the attitude of our Men and Women serving.

You should look your "facts" up, instead of just continuously making them up, unless you just consistently enjoy spouting misinformation. The children of senators and congressmen are more likely to serve in the military than the children of the average American and are deployed to dangerous places and sometimes die too. To say otherwise is to dishonor their service.

Heck prince harry flew a helicopter.

What a dumb statement. Zero context.

"Quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to wrath...." Think Trump made the right call this time.
I do have confidence though that if the time comes for military action, Trump will do what's necessary.

I've said it in an earlier post- those so eager to go to war and like talking a big game are more than welcome to buy a plane ticket and fly on over to whatever fly speck nation and prove your brass.....like many of our grandfathers did during the Spanish Civil War.

Agreed. I know a lot of guys don't like him here but Teddy Roosevelt was right when he said, Speak softly but carry a big stick."

Trump would be wise to slow down and count his words.

No, it's not. That's the attitude of the snowflakes on here afraid that people who joined the military may be asked to serve in a military capacity.

That’s not what anyone is saying, GB. We’re at war . Have been for a very long time.

Quite frankly, I want other nations involved in this to lead it. Aside from our drone , ships have been hit that weren’t US flagged in an international shipping lane.

Other countries have a stake in this.

Sorry but the money I set aside for my plane ticket and arms was taken by the government.

Yes, I certainly did, as did my Son. And you?
This country isn't the country it is today because of panty-waisted Nancy boys.

Snowflakes are winning, and will win. Men are becoming women who are afraid of everything......especially a conflict of any kind. If their feelings are hurt they need special treatment because they've been traumatized by mean words. Could you imagine today's youth storming the beach at Normandy. Not a laughing matter, but it's laughable. The wimpy snowflakes will have their way, and they will have nobody to blame but themselves..

In an active theater?

No need to fly to the fly speck nations....they've been invited in and paid to make themselves comfortable. Thank you Democrats.

And you, Nancy boy?
I joined in 82. Nothing going on in my time, but I was there. My Son was in on the Iraq deal. And didn't cry for a teddy bear.

Never served. However, if you sign up you should have no qualms in doing the job you enlisted to do. That doesn't mean that a rush to war is always the wisest move to make.

Some response is needed. Since they did not kill anyone we probably would not get world support for a lethal strike. If it happens again I would favor eliminating their ability to carry out such acts.
