Seven US personnel injured in attack on Iraq base
US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin later told journalists that “the United States will not tolerate attacks on our personnel in the region.”
Thousands of US families have now had a loved one who did one or more tours in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Will they encourage new enlistments?
Both major US political parties may be forced to downsize their ambitions for various overseas military operations when American families no longer send the young ones to enlist and will not support a draft.
To me, the most interesting people in politics are the people who are willing to question their chosen political party.

If the USA continues a pattern of undeclared/unwon DOD wars over the next 50 years, will it still be considered a plus to bring military experience into a big election season?
We are told that US troops are sent to distant lands to defend American rights and freedoms.
