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

I don't know a thing about talking points. Is this when the screwed up GOP sends you a dun?

In the good ole days some country kills an American and war was declared.

Now it's ignored when a country kills an American.

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...

I have to be honest, there's a lot to be said (imo) for going in and kickin some ass. I just hate having our guys die in the war (or gals) but I'd sure be willing to join up. I know someone's gonna say something about this, but when Hitler was doing his thing, I sure wished we would have kicked his ass way earlier:( Nothing like war to bring a country together, for the most part, always protesters which I can't blame them for their opinion either. I respect it too. But I bet we'd forget about the damn republican/democrat war pretty fast.

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.

I think it would be more like you're saying OA, I'm hoping we kick their ass without losing so many on the ground as in the past ways we did things. I think that's more of a "saying", but means the same, go in, kick ass, and get our guys out again, alive.

Spoken like a armchair warrior. Easy to say, not easy to do.

Oh! Yeah! Karl Rove. He was a real macho Draft Dodger! BTW It was on President Obama's call that the orchestrator of 9/11 was killed. Forget that already?

Our PM Steven Harper is also a 'hawk' (isn't that what they call pro-war people?) and is more than willing to threaten and bluster and involve Canadians in conflict, but the guy was also never in the military. Not only that, he likes to show up for photo ops wearing an Air Force jacket complete with pilots wings, both of which not only apparently infuriates military members but the wearing of the pilots wings is apparently illegal in Canadian law if you aren't/weren't a pilot. Absolutely no class.

Same with all our Hawks, other good ole John McCain. Most of the other big mouths that were old enough for the draft were draft dodgers.. The younger ones never served... but just LOVE to send other people's kids to get killed.
 
I imagine Isis or any other enemy of the US sitting back just loving how the fight continues here between the Rs and Ds. Does anyone else think this is totally non-productive and a waste of time? Gads, I'd like to bring in a huge pool, no water, just mud, and throw you all in it, I'll hose you off when you smear each other enough to get rid of the hate, if that's even possible.

So you don't include yourself in the mud throwing? You usually are subtle but definitely express you right leanings.

I guess you're some hotshot because you were in the service. Guess what, not everyone that wanted to serve got to. You don't know a thing about me and what I'd do.

I don't profess to be any kind of "hotshot". I think rather than continue this I'll just ignore you. No harm no foul!
 
I know it's hard to handle someone who doesn't kiss your fanny, and agree with all your stuff:) Careful though, you guys might run out of people, but you'll have each other.
