No, Libya, Afghanistan, Iran–all those were not enough. Now we need to fight another unauthorized war in Uganda. How nice is that?
And Obama shows his usual pattern of not even consulting congress before he commits troops. Gee, I thought we were going to be in Libya for “days, not weeks.” What, it has been 4 or 5 months now? I’m sure Barack’s Excellent Ugandan Adventure will be a short war…
I’m no longer in the military. They have a strong ethic of doing what they are ordered, and at the top is a civilian commander. That is, IMHO, as it should be. But at what point will people just not be willing to die for stupid causes? By no means am I suggesting mutiny, but we’ve got to be getting close. I mean, it’s not like there will be NO deaths for the U.S., and I certainly would not want to be one of a small number who died in that action. Tell, me Jefe, just why did we send troops to Uganda? What U.S. interests were served? And if it is pure “humanitarianism,” how many other countries will we invade? When, for example, are we going into Syria?
