For the war mongering Trumpkins

Those of you that have supported Trump's plans to expand our military involvement across the ME and in Asia should read the article in the WSJ linked below.
I was hopeful Trump would keep his campaign promises to get us out of some wars but he has not.
Brothers in Arms: The Tragedy in Small-Town America
Puts a face on your rhetoric.
We should get Americans out of the Middle East tomorrow. We should tell SK and Japan "here are you some weapons you deal with NK".
Not another drop of US blood should be spilled unless the purpose is clearly in direct defense of the USA.

Brothers in Arms: The Tragedy in Small-Town America
quote:
Mike Goski stared into the steel casket at his twin brother’s body, dressed for eternity in a deep-blue Marine Corps jacket with red piping and brass buttons. It was like looking into a cruel mirror, Chris’s face, so like his own, distorted by a wound the mortician couldn’t conceal.
Alone together for the last time, Mike slipped a knife into his brother’s hand, a weapon for Valhalla, the mythical refuge for fallen warriors.
Chris was a born fighter from Red Oak, Texas, a Marine commando with six tours of duty. In combat, he could orchestrate from the chaos a lethal strike by jet fighters, helicopters, mortar and artillery, raining hot metal on enemies a few hundred yards away.
At the cemetery, as “Taps” played, comrades of the Goski twins stood at attention, Marines in white hats and Special Forces in green berets. Mike, an Army Special Forces patch on his own shoulder, asked that none cry.

Heavy Burden
Per capita, nearly twice as many small-town Americans have died at war since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks compared with those from large metro areas.
Puts a face on your rhetoric.

Your thread title invites quality discussion

OK

Don't even care. Gorsuch is the primary reason I voted Trump.

No "Trumpers" that I know of are "war mongering". One of the primary reasons some of us supported him is because he explicitly promised NOT to keep engaging in pointless wars.

GFY is the response you seek.

I voted Trump to slow down the deterioration of western values and American culture by the left. Couldn't give less of a frick about some war in the middle East. That region will always be littered with wars. From thousands of years ago until now there has been continuous wars over there.

Next thing you will do is request a body count ticker at the top of the page.

War mongerers support Graham and McCain, not Trump. You should call out those people. They also love tax breaks for movie producers.

We should invade North Korea to get rid of that madman ruler.
Once there and when we get a bit stabilized, we should use North Korea as a launching pad for an invasion of China to overthrow their communist dictatorship.

What about in a year or less when a rocket launched by NK may be tipped with a nuke and headed for the west coast, should we wait until most of Los Angeles is ruble and then deal with it just to be sure it is for a good reason?

I'm not a "Trumpkin" I despise both political parties and every single congressman and senator there is. I only care about helping Israel. Every other country on this planet can burn to the ground for all I care.
And I was an 0311 Marine from 93-96. No combat

49 post on this thread and not a single post sympathetic to the plight of the young men we send to fight the wars old men want to fight.
Not a post saying our continued wars are foolish.

Peace is for the women....and the weak. Empires are forged...by war.

Trump supporters are not war mongers. Put the crack pipe down.
