So fighting an enemy by bombing them is not a war, solely because we don't have ground forces. Geeze Louise. What a disaster these people are. I cannot believe they are running the country.
we have 500 special forces + the local military at our disposal.
I love the idea... Five hundred US special forces, well, that's a bonafide badass collection right there. They can go anywhere point a laser, and in 2 minutes, it's a crater. Or they can go in and take out who needs taken out. And if a big group of bad guys is there, they can use local military to take them down, in conjunction with airstrikes.
Seriously, this is strategic and surgical. Use a very small number of the best forces + local expendable military that know the land and language + rain serious hardware down once we do see the bad guy.
Some people just like to shit on obama, and I'll shit on him for obamacare and for being an illegal alien. But for this? No. 500 of our best CAN take out thousands of them. Plus their air power and local military? There are 31k ISIS maximum... won't take our guys long.
