Thank you for your service. I understand why you're reluctant to get involved with another country, especially from the radical religious fanatics who don't care how they live or when they leave the world, as long as someone else is being punished for their beliefs.

It's very hard for me to watch the news and see what's happening, how they're beheading our citizens and now I watch on the news that they're beheading children also.

I can't help but think about the families of the men who were beheaded and then flaunted for them to suffer the pain of losing their own blood this way. I can't imagine what this would feel like. It's beyond my imagination. We have the capacity to help and as long as there are sick bullies like this in the world, and murdering our own this way? ... yes, I feel the United States has an obligation to do something about it.

This world is really going down the shithole and so many decent citizens are watching this sickness happening on the internet and they're taking this opportunity to flaunt it and all the while enjoying it.

If I could join the military today, I would be happy to kill them.

I'm just sorry that we can't make sure that each one suffers before they do leave this world.

And they will...

Hi Sara,
I don't know that we have to reduce our selves to their level they have also crucified quite a few. However they will not understand appeasement or abide by treaties. The worse part is the poor average family -people that falls under their umbrella that really just wants to make a living and now their stuck with these scum in charge. Unfortunately ISIS will not understand anything but a well placed bullet, bomb or shell.
You got good spirit. Freedom is not free and I am grateful for my brother who served in Iraq "as a medic" as well as brinkth. As well as all US and Allied veterans that served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea and WW2.
We have rarely been beaten on the battlefield only in the political maneuvering.

Because the world has been paralyzed by inaction in dealing with these radicals they have an unwarranted sense of security. That needs to go away. I don't want them to suffer, I'm not about that. I do want them to fear though. I want them to know they are being hunted. I want them to wonder if they will wake up or not when they sleep. I want them to see their pipe dream of an Islamic state crushed under the JDAMs, treads, and boots of the people they intend to persecute. I want them and the world to witness what happens when a group does what IS chose to do....destruction.

Send me...please send me. It needs to be done.

McCain was the best thing to happen to Obama , Obama couldn't have asked for a better opponent . Obama does not want this Country involved in another war in any fashion because he wouldn't have the backing of the people .

And if it was up to me, the Danes would be right by your side.

But isn't that a good thing?
The whole thing about Democracy is that it is determined by the will of the people.

War weariness is now endemic through out the west thanks to the Bush-Cheney crusade and it is that weariness leading the inactivity against IS.

After the 9/11 disaster the American people couldn't wait to go after the culprits , Bush gave the people what the people wanted , what should have taken 10 weeks took 10 years and solved nothing , Islam is a culture with a agenda and you fellow Americans are the agenda , convert or die .

Except that Bush went after the wrong people once the decision to invade Iraq was made.

Now we are left with the effects of foreign policy dictated by politics as opposed to good sense. Our bad policy, whether we want to admit or not, is responsible for some of the rise of the Islamist. Now we are at a point where we MUST act and act in a way where we have to walk the finest of lines...this isn't a matter of bombing "them" into oblivion. It's going to take a huge amount of finesse in military operations as well as statesmanship and diplomacy on our part with a LOT of luck for it all to come together. Even then it can't be achieved over the course of "10 weeks" and likely not over in even 10 years.

We need to make sure we start taking the moral high ground and living by it in order to defeat these radicals...any grey area they can exploit is only going to fill their ranks. What this will do is give the moderate and secular Muslims no excuse to police up their crazies and give us the ability to garner the necessary support if we need to go and crush a few them...otherwise we will be pizzing in the wind for a century with this madness...

I compare 10 weeks of utter destruction in Iraq to an eye for an eye for the twin towers , the message being you hurt me I'll hurt you 10 fold , if anyone has a better option / solution in dealing with people that hate you with their very being I say good luck .

Iraq wasn't responsible for the twin towers...
