And we should stay out of Syria.

It's not the ability being used in Afghan. no more than the ability used on the NVA. The problem, in Korea also, was our gov't not letting soldiers do what they were trained to do. Since WW2, we have been made into a "polite", if you will, military. Our troops are forced to "play by the rules" against troops who don't care to read what the rules are.

I doubt our gov't is going to drop the "polite" deal now any more than another enemy force is going to start using it. In my mind, our military has its hands tied.

And, NO, we don't need to go to Syria for anything. We don't need to fund them with money we don't have and, we don't need to supply them with weapons that they'll likely use against us in the end.
