I swear, I don't get the problem here. Assad crossed an international line. A written and unwritten rule that says you don't use nukes and you don't engage in chemical warfare. And you especially don't unleash deadly chemicals on your own people. He did! So PCT's boys pulled up and parallel parked. Threw a few dozen greeting cards his way that said, "Hi there. Just wanted to let you know if you do it again, we'll shove a couple of MOABs up you sorry ass". It's not a political stunt. PEOPLE WERE GASSED TO FRICKING DEATH!
As far as Asscrackastan, we've been there for years. How many strikes were carried out under Obama? Hundreds? Thousands? Those weren't political stunts either. I wish that under his administration, ISIS had been wiped off the face of the earth. I would have applauded the man. Thank you, President Obama. But, they're still here. Still carrying out terrorist acts. Still vowing to rid the world of Christians and all infidels alike. So the military leaders who have been in charge of carrying out said strikes, said "Let's kick it up a notch and drop some seriously heavy shit on these bastards". They did. Not Trump. Political stunt? No! Stepping up the fight against ISIS.
Why is this politicized or even a problem? We should be cheering.
