The US military should be used to serve and protect AMERICAN citizens. These men and women should not be pawned off as mercenaries to other countries.
Just because the Saudi royals own a floor of trump tower doesn’t mean he has to sell them American troops also. American troops should be used to right for American values around the world, not to the highest bidder.

Agreed. And that applies to our European allies as well.

Unfortunately, the Trump loyalists are going to dismiss and berate you. Be prepared.

Pull our troops out of the middle East Mr. President...Oh Nos how could you pull our troops out of the middle east and abandon our allies? Sound familiar??

So we send some troops to Saudi Arabia to watch over some oil fields...are they not an ally? At least on the surface?? So we (the US) get some reimbursement for the trouble...so what? It's not the path I would choose but I'm not going to go nuts over it.

Now what of the comments:
quote:

I sense that there is a lot more to this story, and Jared Kushner is involved. The Press needs to follow the money.... It probably leads to Trump/Kushner bank accounts.

Did this jackass say the same about Biden?
quote:

Yes. He treats our military like paid mercenaries, which in addition to being completely unAmerican, is also illegal. And who’s “bank account” is he talking about? Sounds like his own. All this guy does is break the law.

He treats out military a helluva lot better than the last guy did...and what laws did he break?

Damn liberal bs.

Seems like an Ally we have worked together closely in the past to fight terror, we need them now more than ever thanks to Iran. They’ll be more useful against Iran than any other traditional Ally put together.

This is dumb. We have bases over there. We want bases over there. Where are we going to put them?

Well if someone reimburses the cost of building the bases, we might want to put them there.

Common sense solution.

Dear Lord you guys like to twist everything 5 ways to Friday. Could you explain how the previous 5 administrations never held NATO accountable? Can you explain why the previous administration gutted the military budget while keeping them protracted wars? Can you explain why the previous administration wouldn’t let the military actually use their full effect on ISIS? Until you can please shut the f—K up about Trump!

Sounds, if your statement is true, Trump is making us money if troops defend ME

If so, that’s great IF he thinks it’s best for our country to remain there

Hell, every other president gave our military away for free to foreign countries

Idk how our country has survived the way idiot politicians have run our country financially

You seen financially illiterate if this is a problem for you? Are you young and just starting out and have no idea how to profit financially?

While Amash’s intentions are corrupt - his family makes money through globalism - he is right on this issue. Saudi Arabia is not a friendly country and we should not have troops there or their citizens here.

No he isn't. Calling a demand that they pick up the tab "selling" is fricking retarded.

one can make this point without bastardizing the language as Amash did

It's this ^

We want a military presence across the globe. And by presence it doesn't mean we're sending troops into battles for other countries

Since WWII we have protected Europeans that hate our guts. We have done so mostly on our dime.

At least we're doing it on the Arabs' dime.

Isn't this or wasn't this pretty much every police department moto awhile back?

I am all for pulling out of the ME but I do not have a problem requiring someone to reimburse us for our presence until we do...

Iraq should be paying a damn big bill as well...

More Trump hate.

We are there for our interests, but when our interests overlap those of our allies they should participate too.

I guess the Trump haters think we should go it alone?

You mean Trump asking a country to pay for troops already committed just like he wants countries to pay their fair share in the defense of their country?

You Democrat’s should know that mantra well. Only Trump knows how to apply it properly.
