I still would say Trump should cut the deal.

But the bottom line is we're getting in a hole.

It's getting deeper and digging it deeper is not going to make it easier to get out of.

Thanks for having me.

Why are we doing this?

That is a good question that they don't have an answer to, and scarier for our troops.

You know, I unfortunately had to experience this deja vu 21 years ago as a Marine in Al-Anbar, where I, two years into the Iraq War, I was, you know, going town to town searching for insurgents,

But there was no clear direction what victory looked like, what the end goal was, what was going to be the after action report on Iraq.

And right now, we don't know what actually brought us into this war.

There's been a lot of testing of messages, which scares me, the fact they didn't actually have a real reason, except for the real situation is probably because we could, and that they don't know what victory looks like.

They don't know what happens after they destroy every launcher that Iranians have, what happens if we're able to destroy every boat possible, every vehicle that moves as owned by the Iranian military.

But yet what happens if the Ayatollah's successor is still in power?

Is that a victory?

I don't know.

It may not be a victory.

What was the end goal besides trying to destroy their military capability?

And then that only means they were just putting off having to come back and do it.

This is a very scary situation.

I think that's why the American public is against this.

None of this seems right.
