The nonveterans, who have never shed a drop of blood defending our great country, will OK a war with Syria, while sitting in air-conditioned offices in Washington, backing another noncombat person, Barack Obama, which would kill thousands of innocent Syrians.

The time has long passed Assad will have redeployed his armed forces and military hardware – too late now to effectively stop the Syrian government’s forces in Syria. Our foot-dragging government is again in a quandary about another war.
