Damn! Its refreshing to hear a presidential speech sound like its being given by a boss, and not some junior lackey.

I was reading posts on the forum while he spoke, therefore I wasn't really paying attention. I take it from your response it was good?

He said all the right things.
No more nation building. Clean up in Afghanistan, and make them help pay for it.
No more BS PC restrictions on the military - let the guys on the ground do what needs to be done. He also spent a lot of time calling out Pakistan for harboring terrorists while acting like they're on our side.

It was telling that there was ZERO commentary on the network stations after the speech. My gut feeling is that they're trying to figure out how to spin it.
Pretty much said the same thing to my wife when it ended. MAGA.

one of the most important parts of his speech. Pakistan has been playing both sides. Time to shit or get off the pot.
and he said he's going to leave combat decisions to the Generals and people on the ground. Thats the smartest thing any president has said in the last 20 years

I listened to the whole thing and then switched over to Rachel Madcow on MSNBC to see how they'd spin it. They couldn't. He friggin nailed it tonight. That might be the most straight forward presidential speech I've ever heard.
I was very happy with the spoken words of MY President.
He is no nonsense, he says what needs to be said. He was firm and laid down the law. He called out those Countries that are not doing what they should be, he did it in a way that was solid but professional. Good for him and good for America!
Things like this are the reason why I hired him.

new rules of engagement too!! Woooo!! MAGA
Not exactly new, he has ordered them to be cleaned up to allow the fighters to actually fight. In the beginning, we were pretty much weapons free. Not so much during and after the Obummer. Hopefully this will assist greatly!
Sending 4ooo troops to supplement the 8500 left there is still an eighth of what they had before and that was a stalemate at best. He still spoke about training the Afghanistan forces to defend their country and rebuild their society, in contradiction to what he said about no longer nation building. Then he hints that he wants to negotiate with the Taliban. Seems like he said something for everybody....
I wish them well and if we see them kill a lot of ragheads then that's wonderful but it to me it sounds like Trump is learning how to be politician and make a lot of bullshit sound like he's doing something good for us.
LOL if the media and establishment can't find something to complain about then it sounds like he's doing what they agree with. Ain't that interesting?
I know a lot of you are vets and you have my undying respect - and I've been all out for Trump since the beginning - but the USS McCain running into an oil tanker is more characteristic of our leadership than anything Trump said tonight.
15 years of training Afghans to defend their own country hasn't worked. The Pakis will sell nukes to Iran and North Korea in a heartbeat. Blah Blah Blah bring everyone home from the Middle East and put them into border security and immigration to round up every bad guy who is already here. That's what will make us safer from terrorism.
In hindsight (and also something I said back 9/12) Bush should have nuked some camels off in the middle of nowhere and said the next American who gets killed triggers nukes on Mecca. But you have to get the Muslims corralled and out of America first before you stir up the hornet's nest and we're way too PC to do that to the religion of peas.

Right there is what we should have done years ago.
I'm tired of our guys being ripped apart mentally/physically and killed.
Bring them all home! They can do a lot more for their country by being here

I'm surprised that we would be sending more guys. The guys that are there now are doing basically nothing but hanging around the bases for the most part.

Didn't see or hear it. I tuned out of most news several weeks ago when realized just how screwed this nation really is and just how powerless intelligent people are to change the course of our ship of state.

I don't agree with some of his views and actions (LGBT most notably, followed by the revolving door garbage) but this guy is getting things done and his speech was solid. It's on YouTube and candidly it's worth blowing 27 minutes to check it out. Pakistan better take note. I also hope the Generals he is putting in charge of the policy are badass and not going to do that Obama-wimp-out bullshit.

You mean we are fighting a war in Afghanistan?

Enough with this transgender nonsense you keep harping on. It's tiring. Nobody cares whether on this forum or out in public. It isn't on anyone's minds like it is on yours.
We could care less whether someone cuts off their genitalia or puts on a dress as long as it isn't shoved in our faces.
Would you like it if we shoved our heterosexual orientation in every transgender's face every time we saw one? That would be a no. So don't do it to us. If you or your son want to wear dresses, that's your business. Have at it.

do you KNOW where this collision took place? It's one of the congested merchant marine choke points in the ocean.
regardless of that. The executive staff aboard the USS John McCain should be (probably will be) Court marshaled. As well as the staff of the Fitzgerald and possibly jailed for dereliction of duty. There really is no excuse for a collision at sea. especially with the Radar and sonar on today's war ships

probably Admiral's mast and relieve the CO, XO and CMC like they did on the Fitz already.
