When you prosecute the Navy personnel involved, will you also prosecute Seal Team Six which engaged in what they themselves described as "a kill operation" within Bin Laden's compound? (Sorry, Chris, if you didn't say, "whatabout school shooters," you don't get to say "whatabout Seal Team Six.") They even prepared to take out the bin Laden compound with enough ordinance to kill every woman and child within, and several nearby homes of likely innocent people to boot. Will you prosecute Obama and everyone in the chain of command for that operation, just like Chris says he would do of Trump and the cartel strikes?

Victories over terrorists and cartels are not measured in land captured. Victories are measured in deaths of the enemy. Obama knew that. The GOP knew that, and didn't attack Obama for acting on that reality. Trump knows that, too. You would prosecute Trump, but not Obama, because you are about political power, not constitutional rights or international law.

The cartels are killing more people in the US than the 9/11 hijackers killed...and they are continuing to do so. The cartels aren't US citizens. They don't have territory. They don't wear uniforms. They won't surrender. They kill American citizens for profit. Why do you seek to extend constitutional and treaty rights to them that they do not have? Why do you defend them? Why not fight them, and defend American citizens instead, like Obama did and Trump is doing?

Honestly, when all this started, I had to consider whether this was a good idea. But, the more I think about it, the more reasonable our attacks seem. The cartels are evil, and past efforts to capture them have failed to stop Americans from being killed by them. Hard to argue against trying something else...something more effective. I'm willing to discuss it, and I reserve the right to change my mind. It is just hard to have more sympathy for the cartels than for the American citizens they are killing for profit. You seem to be able to have more sympathy for them than for Americans; I'm just having a hard time with that.
