Now, you have to bring a dog to this fight...do you bring a crazed killer Rottweiler or a fluffy little Poodle? Trump wants to do in the crazed killer Pit Bull that's ISIS and he just picked himself a crazed killer Rottweiler to do the job. Good choice IMO. All of his picks seem to be pit bulls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What weve been doing is starting military actions which are guaranteed to spread into other conflicts which will keep the military industrial complex making money perpetually. Winning isnt the goal, profits are. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iraq war we started, they had nothing to do with 9/11. We meddled in Libya, Syria, funded rebels that are now terrorists. We supported the Muslim Brotherhood and look what happened in Egypt. We have a big hand in what is going on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why i said that we didn't start this war but the approaches they took lead to other things. I still don't understand why Bush went into Iraq instead of where? .

ellapenella Posted December 2, 2016 #33 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) There's only one individual that i know of that went over all of this and that was general Clark. My question is , why ? why was he permitted to share in that information? It just seems weird like it would cause backlash or something on the country. I really don't know what to make of it all. General Wesley Clark tells of how Middle East destabilization was planned as far back as 1991 According to former NATO Commander General Wesley Clark Edited December 2, 2016 by Ellapennella 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was a combination of protecting the petro dollar same reason we're in Kosovo, Syria and Libya and creating a playground in the region for the alphabet agencies .Don't forget there would be no ISIS if not for our actions in Iraq. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffSplitkins Posted December 2, 2016 #36 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Seems like a logical choice to me. The man dedicated his entire life to the Marine Corps. You certainly wouldn't want to appoint a florist for a job like that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Daesh. Iran are fighting Daesh. Do the maths, as they say ... He should have said Saudi Arabia AND Iran. Both support their brand of extremists, both fight against extremists that aren't allied with them. Good old Sunni/Wahabism vs Shiaism. Islams history is riddled with over a 1000 year + conflict that's still being waged. Edited December 2, 2016 by AdealJustice 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science mostly, but thats backed up by the insane amount of veteran suicides which are somewhere around 20 PER DAY, and veteran homeless and skyrocketing veteran domestic violence rates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny I actually typed out but then erased : Sure there are some who come through just fine. Theyre called liars and psychopaths. In reality though PTSD is a b****, many dont realize they have it until YEARS after the events that caused it. Many lie or are in denial about it because, ya know we're men and who needs that touchy feely stuff . Do your numbers represent veterans overall or just those who saw combat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztek Posted December 2, 2016 #45 Share Posted December 2, 2016 i was talking about combat veterans, so yea naturally they saw combat so in your opinion those that come out without any mental disorder are liars and psychopaths ????? that is interesting opinion. i wonder what vets on this site have to say about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason I didnt include it in my original post, its an awful topic, men dont like dealing with it so any numbers you read about PTSD are going to be extremely skewed. . Im not being hyperbolic or antagonistic here , I deal with trauma for a living. I do believe a few can go through traumatic events without long lasting consequences but that is the absolute extreme minority. like i said its an awful topic, men dont like dealing with it so any numbers you read about PTSD are going to be extremely skewed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the majority can go through trauma without developing PTSD. And in not trying to hurt your point or anything but I just what to bring to light to everyone that the majority of pepole with PTSD are women, from abuse and rape. Since everyone always thinks it the vets Edited December 2, 2016 by spartan max2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original post said if you start a war then youve already lost. If you are STARTING a war then your enemy wasnt trying to kill you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
