Desert Storm I? No, it was to preserve American oil interests.

Crapweasel Iraq War? No. Just based on lies and nothing else.

Afghanistan? Object was to get bin Laden. We got him.

Just curious, when have you ever put your life the line for anyone or anything? Oh, by the way, elbowing your way the the front of the line at Dunkin' Donuts doesn't count.

Thanks for the advice. I won't take Fox News as the be all to end all on its opinions.

where you go for an "informed conclusion"...this I have to hear...

the liberal agenda. Believing in the liberal press will only get you a narrow version of history. Perhaps you might dig a little deeper to find the reasons for those conflicts...no? I guess it's easier to get your information from those who gave zero for out country than giving thanks to those who served at our countries behest.

It's easy to recognize the those who not only didn't serve, but likely fled to Canada when their time was due for military service. Not only did "you" not get him, but probably had your head in the sand while it happened.

Try again. The Navy Seals were operating under standing orders issued by President George W. Bush. They were in the compound when they had to get Obama off the golf course for final approval. My opinion is they did it that way so as to back the president into a corner where he couldn't say "No". So, Obama's contribution was essentially zero. You can thank Bush for ridding the world of Bin Laden

Using your definition, the only "just" wars, the only ones where our freedom was at stake by virtue of an attack on America would be the war of 1812 and WWII. Afghanistan comes close, given 9-11, but Al Qaeda did not have the resources to continue an attack.
For all other wars, remember Carl von Clausewitz---"War is the continuation of politics by other means". Please do not denigrate the service of those who fought and died in those conflicts. I will refrain from shredding to pieces your erroneous assessments of the conflicts you listed, but you may want to decrease your MSNBC viewing time

Sanders is a savior.

What are you smoking and where do I get some?

Those that were too cowardly to serve disparage the patriotic. You think you know better than millions of others that have served and died, but in reality you are just trying to justify your cowardice. And it IS your American right to be a coward. We have plenty of real Americans that will protect you. I'd bet you are also one of those that believes in gun control. Talk about someone that lives in a protective bubble. Some day, your bubble will pop and you will probably fall apart. Hope you have a speed dial setup for the suicide hot line.

Are you FREE?? Then ask one of those heroes. Hope you enjoy the freedom you have in your little bubble of ignorance.

I come here, of course. Where else would you to get such "fair and balanced" news? Isn't everyone here objective in their posts? It certainly looks like it. Having a open mind is a trait shared by everyone here. There are no hardline, caste in stone political party loyalists here. No one is on the extreme of their party. Everyone's opinion is subject to change.

You are absolutely right. Everybody here leaves subjective at home and wipes clear any preconceived notions and acquired prejudices. And they keep their postings succinct and on point.

But not when it comes to fighting against socialism. That is Anti-American and no real American will sit back and allow it to corrupt our American Freedom. Bernie Sanders is a communist, and should go back to the USSR and retire.
