Nope.
I'd be ok with some weapons.
The Ukrainian people have shown to be courageous.
Not cowardly like Afghan.

Not only no troops, no 6.4 billion dollars either!!!!!. Just because we aren’t pulling the trigger doesn’t mean committing billions isn’t a declaration of war. I don’t know why people don’t understand this. From a strictly financial stand point, arming them and sending them endless supplies is still a war effort. Let Europe deal with THEIR problems!!

Hell no. And I say that as someone who is deeply cheering Ukraine on.

And to my post above about the 8,000 deaths in the three Middle East conflicts we were involved in, there were 50,000 more who were injured, many with life altering injuries and PTSD. War is hell. This conflict does not warrant our men and women to be part of it.

I know it man. I spent over 20 years as a M1A1/M1A2 Abrams Tank Commander. This isn't a game of Risk.

I don’t understand you. Trump would have shown strength. That’s the opposite of what Biden is doing. Therefore, he would have kicked the shite out of Russia with U.S. troops and bullets.

No he wouldn’t have. Trump is probably the most anti war president we’ve had in decades

Biden is an idiot and unfit to be commander in chief. A competent leader changes the equation

Yes, but only our transgender troops. Diversity is our strength and the Russians haven't been trained in fighting trannies.

You were only a tank commander for 20 years? You never advanced beyond the rank of E6?

Platoon Leader = 4 tanks

Company Commander = 2 tank platoons, 1 Bradley platoons

Battalion Commander = 2 tank companies, 1 Bradley company and other support elements.

(You can probably tell by now I'm just fricking with you)

I retired as a 1SG. A SFC platoon Sergeant is still a Tank Commander.

Like I said, you can probably tell I'm messing with you.

Isn't the platoon sergeant's call sign "4" though?

Doesn't the 1st Sergeant ride in a 577?

My two uncles who have since passed fought in the Battle of the Bulge as teenagers. The stories I heard from them mostly through my dad were numerous and sobering to say the least. He also served but never saw combat (between Korea and Nam). Refused to ever watch a War movie.

I'm a boomer and my vote is Hell No!

Don't send millions of dollars there either.

America cannot defend its own self in its own Country. We are spending money like drunken sailors daily. Inflation thru the roof, Country is divided, Nat’l debt is thru the roof…You cannot be the Worlds’ police when your Country is fragmented/broken as we are.
