    In that news feed I just posted they were talking about this being the first time a First Lady has been to a combat zone.

    I immediately thought of Hillary dodging sniper fire.

    Obama wasn't the one going around talking about how tough and brave he is, how he knows more than all the generals, and how he always wanted a Purple Heart, like Cadet Bonespurs has.

    Why are you getting so defensive? Who cares that Obama and Trump didn't serve? Our last Brave President was Bush. He volunteered to serve his country.

    Obama and Trump did not.

    Why the tantrum?

    Obama just ceded Iraq (territory earned with American blood) to ISIS, and expanded the military presence in africa and asia.

    Trump came in to clean things up and he's doing it.

    FYI, actually it is. He was the President that deployed troops there. Do you need the timeline of this?

    There's a thread about it too. We can cite them all for you.

    It sure is.

    At the direction of U.S. President Barack Obama, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was put in charge of the operations, worth about $1 billion annually, to arm anti-government forces in Syria,[132][133][134][135] an operation which formally began in 2013, more than two years after the start of the civil war in 2011.

    In his address to the nation on 10 September 2014, U.S. President Obama announced his intention to bomb ISIL targets in Syria and called on Congress to authorize a program to train and arm rebels who were fighting ISIL and the Syrian forces of Bashar al-Assad.[184] For the first time, he authorized direct attacks against the militant group in Syria. In his address, he said the United States were going on offensive, launching "a steady, relentless effort to take out" the group "wherever they exist." Obama also announced creating of a broader coalition against ISIL

    Utterly failed, as usual, by the Republicans.

    See page one of the New York Times, with a pleasant long article underneath it.

    I care because Cadet Bonespurs the Coward, third of his name (his grandfather lost his citizenship for refusing military service from his home country, so cowardice runs in the Bonespurs family) constantly goes around talking about how tough and badass he is.

    Who signed the SOFA that mandated the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq by December 31st, 2011? (Here's a hint, the SOFA was signed in 2007)

    Obama constantly lectured us on global warming, paying our fair share and not to treat Muslims badly.

    Which is why we still have 'officially' 5,200 troops in Iraq after Obama announced way in advance to warn the JV team.
