I've seen my share of Wounded Warriors coming home without arms, legs, not able to feed themselves, or worse. I can explain the President's strategy so even this group should understand it. Wait I take that back.

"The drumbeat critizing this president for not sending more troups into the middle east is not at all logical."
"PRESSED ABOUT his strategy for fighting the Islamic State, a petulant-sounding President Obama insisted Monday, as he has before, that his critics have offered no concrete alternatives for action in Syria and Iraq, other than putting “large numbers of U.S. troops on the ground.” This claim was faulty in two respects. First, few if any White House critics are proposing a U.S. ground operation on the scale of the previous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. At the same time, military experts both within and outside the administration have proposed more modest measures that could significantly increase the pressure on the Islamic State if the president were to adopt them."
