Keith;
I am not a politician. I do realize that 9-11 never happened and it was Hollywood produced. Because the U.S. was not at war in the Middle East at that time. And, Muslims love us. I think you are a little bit out of line in suggesting we send in our sons and grandsons and daughters to the Middle East. My daughters are too old to join the Military. One grandson would never pass the physical. So, I have one grandson left to join the Military. My granddaughter tried to join the Navy to be an Officer. And, this was after graduating from the University of Vermont. The Navy was letting people go and not taken any new recruits at this particular time.
My mother had four brothers in WWII, all Army and Army Air Force and one was a Tank Commander with Patten. And one sister, an Army Nurse in London during the war. Two of my uncles married Japanese women after the war. One stayed in Japan and the other moved to San Diego. My mother also had three sons in the USMC. All served in Vietnam and all three were there at the same time for six months. After Viet Nam, one brother served on Embassy duty in Dublin, Ireland. After Ireland, he was one of thirteen Marines that went to Helsinki for the Atomic Power Talks. My other brother was in the Air Force before Viet Nam. All I did was shake hands with Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy and President Jimmy Carter. I was unable to join the Marine Corps. However, in 1962 or 1963 I did receive my draft notice. I was married and had one child at this time. This was during the Cuban Missile Crises. The U.S. and Russia agreed to terms and the draft notice was rescinded.
So, Mr. Keith Lamb, you don't have to invite us politicians, The Kirkman Family would volunteer to go.
Also, Mr. Trump would close the border - wonder what Hillary would do?
Mr. Steve Okula - That was a close call that your wife and son had. I am glad that they are safe.

Keith,
First, I invite you to go back and re-read my post then come back and quote me [u">exactly[/u"> where I invite sending in our troops be they my kids or yours. My post suggests if we decide, as a world, to take on this fight we must take a scorched earth process, IMO. Secondly, your incorrect insinuating trolling is old and tired.
I originally sat here and wrote a long, and what I thought would be a very appropriate response. I did my research and looked up facts to back up my points. Changed my mind. Amazing concept. Cheers Clay.
