You know nothing about me, my life, or my family. I think for myself, I don't care what anyone else thinks of me. There hasn't been a single post made by me that was overly political. Hell just a few posts ago I stated that I just want what's good for America no matter who's in the white house. I don't agree with everything trump says or does. But I don't also disagree with everything he says or does. That's where we differ, your post history makes me believe that you are the type that if he were to personally cure cancer you would cry he stole jobs from the researches.

Well you must be a joy to live with. Good luck in life.

Yeah, I'm not a political person so to speak. I have my beliefs, morals and ethics that set me on one side of the political spectrum. I'm definitely not a Trump is our Lord and Savior person. There is so much that I disagree with and a lot I do agree with. I just want what's best for our country no matter who's in the white house. I am a military man of 22 years, 12 of those years were under the command of SOCOM, I have a very good understanding and experience of how these operations are planned and executed. It was fricking impressive.

No, I think it comes from China via multiple South American countries. The difference between Venezuela and Mexico is the Cartel very publicly ran the country as an illegitimate president. Mexico has about 30 cartels all fighting each other and the government. Can't exactly go in and grab the Mexican president. Oh and Mexico isn't a socialist country. They are a free people. Their oppression comes from the said 30 cartels who are just evil. This operation was more about remembering the influence of China, Russia and Iran from our backyard. Stop grasping at straws. Idgaf who our president is in this situation I would support this operation no matter the party in charge.

While they cry and and expose themselves as socialists and communists, and cry for being lied to about fyntenal, I'm over here in awe of the operation. Our track record of these types of operations isn't very good. Examples of some high profile failures; Operation Red Wings, Grenada, Sadam, Operation Eagle Claw(Iran hostage rescue), going way back N. Korea hill 205, or the Makin Atoll Raid. Every single one of those failed militarily and or politically. Last night not only stymied the elicit drug flow but sent a message around the world. The United States will not allow the likes of China or Russia to set up shop in our backyard, we can and will protect our house. Is it a coincidence that the Chinese Delegates where either there or had just left Venezuela when this operation took place, I don't think so. CAG went in under the cover of something larger into an insecure hostile environment and removed a head of state albeit illegitimate one. We completely neutered the country who had aid from China, Russia and Iran in a matter of minutes and within hours we had our HVT and left. It's an extremely impressive operation from start to finish.

I guess we've moved on from the Obama era social experiment and got back to a fighting force.

See the refueling needles on the front of those Black Hawks, that's the 160th SOAR, they're not giving a lift to regular infantry troops from any branch in an operation like this. You're seeing 75th Ranger Regiment, Seals, CAG, MARSOC, or probably 7th Group DA Teams

Same! My Dad and uncle were Tulane Alums and I grew up going to Green Wave games when I was a kid. Great memories, we would always stop at Morning Call after the games. I ended up going to LSU but I just can't hate on the Wave. Wish my dad was still around to see it, we would definitely be in Oxford today.

Yeah, I'll now stop wasting my time with you. You obviously have some deep seated issues. Hopefully you can find a wonderful country full of the people you love to live out your life.

We didn't care about it until the petro dollar changed? The US Saudi Petro Dollar agreement ended 18 months ago and the current exchange rate is $0.010028 USD. And oil is still sold globally in the USD. You are a special person
