Eventually they will stop harboring and supporting these clowns if they start taking the bullets and bombs as well. Also the terrorists hide among the civilians, really the only way to get them.

Don't you realize that these actions simply create more terrorists? Sounds like something that would make anyone seek violent retribution.

Then we fight again. Until the "West" fights the same way they do we'll continue to pacify these terrorists and their sympathizers.

Good news is they'll hate the Russians instead of us.

It's the best case scenario. Some other country spends the blood and treasure and incurs the hate. We get our enemies killed for free.

But it has in Afghanistan (Russian invasion especially).

I'm glad we're not in this mess. We have no partner there worth working with. I feel badly for the civilians but us getting Americans in between two bad groups makes no sense for us. Bombing the shite out of them is good PR for Putin because it distracts his population from what a clusterfrick their economy is - but it won't affect anything with respect to the regional outcome. As far as I'm concerned Iran is welcome to continue to spend gold and blood there at the same time. They won't win either - just kill more civilians.

As best we can tell from years and years of observation...everyone. Theyre all tribal zealots. Everyone is a part of some faction. Therefore when one faction fights, they all fight.

We also left behind tens of thousands of Marines there that remain to this day. Yes, that is one way to pacify someone. Are you prepared for such a commitment in Syria?

That, and we had spent enormous effort crushing their forces off the island of Japan AND perhaps most importantly their emperor (who was considered a virtual god) surrendered. The president of Syria is not surrendering. He dies if he goes out of power. The jihadists are not surrendering. They believe dying there gets them into paradise. The major parties funding the fighting outside of the area are even reluctant to stop funding the fighting - and it is getting expensive

Good god man, have a little respect for humanity and a little appreciation for being born in the greatest country on Earth. I don't care what's going on over there, civilians dying sucks. It's nice living in a country where we don't have to worry about being blown to smithereens in the middle of the night.


Nah, he won't have respect for humanity.. He was born in the greatest country on earth and would want to drop nukes if someone come into his hometown and destroyed it. Those civilians that are dying are people just like we are and I understand in war there will be civilian casualties, but to just go in and say frick it, we are killing everybody is against everything we stand for.

I can only imagine how today's media would have lost their minds reporting on the 8th Air Force's work over Germany in WWII.

You realize the "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" is just some single guy that hasn't been in Syria in like 15 years, right? He literally just trusts whatever some random Rebels communicate to him, so I'd seriously take anything coming from that idiot with a grain of salt.
