Not to get off topic because that is a whole other can of worms. I'm sure we will be involved in Syria if not headlining. Hopefully it involves only air strikes and keeps our troops off the ground.
Then you are all for having Corporate America bringing all those jobs back home and hiring all the vets. Good that means that I will never see the shame of a homeless vet looking for a helping hand.
