or daughter and we should have learned from Vietnam to not get involved in a civil war, especially a religious civil war like Iraq and Syria. For over a thousand years, the Shia have hated the Sunnis who hate the Kurds who hate the Turks. No military action will stop this long standing hatred of each other in the mid east. Why sacrifice our men and spend trillions of dollars to break up a conflict that will resume as soon as we pull out? We could stay in the mid east 50 years and another war would break out as soon as we pulled out. Why throw more money down a rat hole and sacrifice more lives for something that will not happen? Do you see a major shift towards democracy in the middle east? The answer is NO. Our military don't always understand that a war will not solve all the problems. No general wants to get into a losing fight and that's exactly what the middle east is. You haven't come to grips with the 21st century. You are allowed your opinion but not your facts
