GOP Obviously Itching To Put Boots On The Ground In Iraq Again.

[TheMastersNemesis]

If you listen to GOP pundits and GOP politicians it should be obvious they want combat troops on the ground in Iraq and even Syria. But whose kid would they send for multiple tours if that happens. Most likely it would be a long and bloody fight where the other side would obey no rules. They would take no prisoners and would we be willing to incarcerate ISIS fighters for the rest of their lives?

If Americans begin to become more approving of sending combat division into the Middle East, who is going to pay for it if no one wants taxes to be raised. Who is going to be cut? Whose ox is going to be gored over the budget fights. Since the rich will NOT pay their share of taxes workers facing lower pay will be expected to shoulder the burden with the GOP in control.

2. Pressure from their true constituents - the War Machine

This nation is not a peaceful nation, rather it has been built on the premise of perpetual war. It is all about greed and has been building since WWII.

The military industrial complex not only owns congress, they drive their agenda and rhetoric or as some might call it (me); Propaganda!

If they're not willing to go then they can STFU.
