Reply to comment by Open-Industry-8396 in Kusterand and Pappas vote to keep troops in Syria despite no authorization to have them there. Why? by klem18

Lots of anti-war people can tell you exactly what we’re doing in Syria. The idea that you would just trust the decision to go to war to the military apparatus without any congressional oversight or approval is pretty crazy. Keep in mind, Obama held a vote to go to war in Syria, the vote did not pass, and Obama went forward with it anyways.

And a whole lot of anti war people were extremely outraged about Syrian refugees and assad’s gas attacks. Can’t have it both ways. Can’t want us to help get those peoples homes back and punish Assad while also not having troops there to do it. This isn’t empire, we have less than a BCT of SF and support troops, they are helping the people of Syria not invading the country.
