THIS WAS A FAILED ATTEMPT BY THE UNITED STATES TO INSERT ITSELF INTO A CIVIL WAR WHERE THE COUNTRY ITSELF LACKED THE WILL TO FIGHT ITS OWN BATTLE....WE LOST OVER 50,000 AMERICANS IN THIS FUTILE AND ILL CONCEIVED WAR.....ALL WITH THE MANTRA THAT "WE NEED TO FIGHT THEM OVER THERE SO THAT WE DONT HAVE TO FIGHT THEM HERE SOMEDAY"

THAT TIRED BUT TRIED AND TRUE MANTRA HAS MOBILIZED THIS COUNTRY INTO WARS IN KOREA, VIETNAM, AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, AND TO A LESSER DEGREE.....GOT US INVOLVED IN THE INTERNAL GEO-POLITICAL WORKINGS IN EGYPT, PAKISTAN, IRAN, LYBIA, SOMALIA, YEMEN, OMAN, KUTAR AND MORE AFRICAN AND MIDEAST COUNTRIES..

WHAT HAS BEEN THE UPSHOT OF ANY OF THESE ENDEAVORS....

I HOPE WHOEVER WINS IN 2016 WILL LEARN FROM OUR HISTORY...WE CANNOT POLICE THE WORLD! WE ARE NOT THE SAVIOURS OF THE OPPRESSED! WHILE LAUDIBLE GOALS....THEY TEND TO BE MORE COSTLY IN TERMS OF WOUNDED/KILLED G.I.'s, AND OBSCENELY AMOUNTS OF MONEY SPENT

YET SOME HAWKS LIKE MCCAIN AND LINDSEY GRAHAM WANT US TO FIGHT ALL OVER THE GLOBE....AND THEIR ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE WHO GET ALL FIRED UP OVER THEIR RHETHORIC

WE LOST OUR ASS IN VIETNAM....WE LOST TOOO MANY IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ....WE LOST TOO MANY IN KOREA

TIME TO LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES

SOME WARS MUST BE FOUGHT...NONE OF THOSE MENTIONED HERE WERE ON THAT LIST.

AM I WRONG.????
