This war effort has become a 100% personal boondoggle for Trump as he attempts to leave his legacy and "best" Obama. Trump suffers from severe, severe ODS and it leads him to make horrible decisions for what is best for the US. American men and woman are being killed for what reason now, gain control of the Strait? Mind you we attacked Iran, it wasn't the other way around.
