Six US Presidents have now had their hands on the wheel in Iraq

Much talk of political parties & personalities. Little discussion of what the major parties believe in or stand for. Not even during a big election season.

“Trump LOST: the presidency, the House, the Senate, the trust of American voters, the belief in free and fair elections, the credibility of the Republican Party, the admiration of our allies, the fear of our enemies. What exactly are Republicans defending?”

Any members of the press available to show up and ask:

A 5th grade book report would require more in the way of asking questions.

The Department of Defense track record for winning undeclared wars goes back to 1949.

How do the troops defend the Constitution?

Not asking about the oath of enlistment. Asking about what happens after the oath has been taken.

“…few service members truly know what that oath means…”
