What would have happened if a U.S. pilot had been captured and burned alive?

Methinks boots would be on the ground by now and and a total effort would be approved by Congress to wipe out ISIS. In short, the country would demand a full response and that would include you...
 

The nation would convulse into paroxysms of rage. There would be widespread sentiment for an all out attack on ISIS and I would rather have no drama Obama as my President than any other person I can think of. Rage is not the best motivator of wise decisions.

Exactly... and what amazes me... is that when it comes to President Obama... rk seems to like Moslims a whole lot better... even idolizes them I must say.. lol!! BUT then again, if Satan himself told them he was better than Obama, the right would be lining up at the gates of Hell..

Me too, Josiah, he has always dealt with problems with intelligence and a cool head.
 
Pilots were captured, I believe it was during the Carter ad. Us went in, big sand storm lost a bunch of people, copters. Etc.
 
I laud Jordan for stepping up and "getting into the game" as it were.
With Jordan now responding, I note that other Arab nations are stepping up as well.
This was definitely needed. No "boots" [ as yet, anyway ], but much air power.

Agree...

My disgust is with the OP and the obvious jab at our President.. It seems the Right will just praise anyone... rather than their own President. What is it with the right and always wanting to invade, bomb, and start new wars to get our young men and women killed? It's a fascination that would soon dwindle if it were THEM.. or their kids going to war. Bunch of Chicken Hawks.

Not so true at all about out forces. First, they are of all persuasions, all religions or none, all parts of the US, all volunteers for a number of years that I can remember. Are they willing to stand for the US in spite of the threats and dangers? Yes!!!

Our President deserves those jabs, maybe on day they will get him to make a real decision and actually help the US to stay safe. Some of his not so smart ideas was selling off our space ships that could and did exchange crews at the space stations. Today we are depending on Russia's little space thing to bring back our astronauts. At the same time we are arguing with Russia over their expansions into neighboring countries. Not a smart move of Obama as Russia could just not support the space station any more just as cruelly as they act when expanding their borders. Obama had some good ideas I suppose, Obama care was not one of them either. Obama has really increased the government debt with that move also. There are other ways to insure medical coverage and costs. Likely a mixture of ideas would have been better. My medical care is costing more than before so where is the benefit. Obama needs more that an obvious jab, he needs many and fortunately he will be replaced in less than two years. I think just about anyone from either party will do better for the US than someone whose only interest is changing into a non Constitutional type of government he has put into place.

Kinda like the Cheney syndrome? How may deferments did he get to stay safe during Vietnam? Five I believe, and why? Can you say all hawkish about others going to war but a coward when it could be him?

Not to mention ole Mittens Romney... He was all for the Vietnam war.. even carried placards in college in favor of more troops.. BUT.... ended up in France doing some "missionary work" and dreaming of ANNE....

I wouldn't demand a full response with boots on the ground. I don't want to see any more of our troops killed and maimed in wars like this. The US is attacking from the air, and the most it should do is increase the airstrikes. Others can put boots on the ground in this situation, not the United States.
 
Boots on the ground is a bad idea, and just what ISIS wants.You would then see plenty of pics of burning servicemen.Air strikes are the way to go, because of this ISIS is not being able to move around like it was doing, and is now more contained.
