We live in a world.............not on a flat earth sector called CONUS....it is not flat but round.
We have to fight and kill bad guys and have been doing so since 1776, 1812, 1835, 48, 61,' 98,'17, '41,'53, '65, gulf wars, etc etc and police actions.
Cuba will fall and so will China............... in the big one to come.
This is a dangerous game. Trump said he would get us out of wars and seems to not be so true. I get this isn’t a war but anything we do could turn into one. I support the mission of ridding the states of drugs but that’s a lofty goal and costly. Where are we better off putting our money? Skirmishes like this or at the boarder crossings? I’m no expert but it seems like we are involved all over the place these days and it doesn’t look good.
