Boots on the ground in Syria. The beginning of another Vietnam.

What intelligent candidate would feel that this is something they could resolve?

This is the beginning of another war that we cannot win. I no longer support the policies of our President.

Those of us who lived through Vietnam remember the lessons of the 'advisers'. It is my opinion that this is the beginning of a disaster.
Boots on the ground means nightmares for ALL OF US.

Draw your own conclusions.

Frankly, I believe we have always had 'boots on the ground' there. At least since 2012.

Hillary has her hands all over that, from her vote for the Iraq war to her time as Secretary of State when we were supporting Libyan and Syrian rebels, other places too.

We're supposed to shrug and go back to watching Trump act like an ass or whatever.
