Its why Trump said in 2015 just let the Russians deal with ISIS in Syria they have a friendly relationship with Assad.

And in other situations I see my country deploying troops as Rome sent its legions to hold fast its grip on power. America is the new Rome and our troops are being used as projection of power in exchange for preferred trade with our allies. None of what we did in Iraq had anything to do with defending America and my friends and fellow soldiers died in a war that ended up being completely pointless. It's no wonder young people don't want to join the military these days. They have grown up watching what happened to myself and fellow soldiers in the last few decades.

@soulessdeeds it is really sad what you guys had to go through over there. But the psychos in charge don't see that war as pointless. All their friends and financiers got rich. My generation was of fighting age at the time, a lot of my friends signed up to go fight. I remember being one of the few at the time who was completely against that invasion and everyone at the time used to claim I was not patriotic and didn't love our boys in uniform. My point was simple, I am against this war because I love you guys and I don't want you to go over there and potentially ruin your lives over some demonstrable BS the white house is spewing. My arguments never worked, I lost a lot of friends over this at the time. Some I lost for good because they simply never made it home. :O( It breaks my heart what happen to a lot of you guys over there. And to add insult to injury, how poorly the fellas with serious injuries were taken care of when you came home. People are patriotic sending you off to war but they lose all patriotism when you get home. That conflict really changed a lot of us, it really changed me. I was never really able to trust anything the media pushed after that nor did I believe anything coming out of the white house as to why we have to do XYZ overseas. I'm sure millions feel as I do now.

He also knew not to ever trust the govt or the VA. Shortly Before he died, he lowered his head and shook it in disbelief. He said the next war is going to be waged on our soil here. He could see our government turning on its citizens. We are far beyond that now. His generation would have stopped this corruption.

Thank you Rand Paul. You are a good man in a city of immorality. I wish we had more people like you in the senate and more people like Thomas Massie in the House

Wow, it is refreshing to hear one of our senators openly question our natural proclivity for waging foreign military wars without public consent or debate for the past two centuries. You’ve got my vote, Senator!

It's all smoke and mirrors. Remember, Trump could have had them withdrawn, but why did he say he WOULDN'T withdraw them? Stealing Syria's oil. And when he said that the crowd went wild with excitement. Whoops and hollers and all the other redneck stuff.

[@MarkDalbey-cv9sb]

Do you live in Kentucky? Rand Paul is the junior Senator from Kentucky. Unless you live in Kentucky you can't vote for him and he doesn't actually have your vote. You can like and agree with him, but he really doesn't have your vote unless you live in Kentucky.

There should always be a vote anytime US troops are deployed overseas, or money is given to another country money to wage war, always.

[@ip3887]

👀🙌👏💯🔥🔥🔥 Time to START holding these "Executive Orders" accountable. Cats out the bag on EVERYTHING. The purse strings are drawn TIGHT.

[@Edward-tm1dm]

Every thing that they want to do should have to be voted on by the people. The people should tell government where and how much of our money goes to whatever country and the same goes for our troops they are our kids not the governments. Our troops are for protecting America not some other country,and if the people say ok to send our troops it has to be for the least amount of time, and to go WIN and get out. Politicians stay the hell out of it and let them do what they’re trained to do.

[@JesseKlaus]

We need to put these resources into fixing our own country.

[@DevilTravels]

But republicans keep increasing military spending, including Rand Paul.

[@williamdavis9562]

Yes but this specific issue isn't even about resources. It is about using 900 young American men as bait, for when ever our psychos in charge want to spark a war. 900 guys, completely isolated in the Syrian desert. To do what exactly? This is all insanity.

[@alexwelts2553]

The American president takes the direct constant stream of hatred from the citizens who just hate for the sake of hating no matter whos. President. If you recall all the hate and calls for impeachment and prosecution for having classified documents. You should have some respect, and thank him and stand up for an old man that absorbs enough negative energy to make him sick. And USA has been a corporation since 1913, so you just like war? To war over resources to claim and increase revenue with shots called by stakeholders, not president or government,. Because those are BUSINESS decisions.
