When I got out of the Air Force in 1966, I was anti-Vietnam War supporting Gene McCarthy.  

Having now completed a total of 20 years on active duty and having had a close personal friend and member of my Platoon die in Iraq  from an IED, I believe that we do not need to send another US soldier to die in either Syria or Iraq.

Instead, I suggest that Persia (Iran- Shi'a ) and Saudi Arabia (Sunni Arab) be permitted to fight over the Middle East until they are either both annihilated or one of them is declared the winner.  Up until now , we have been supporting their proxies in their hundreds year old war for theocratic supremacy.  It is time to walk away and use our own oil reserves instead of those in the Middle East.  

If Europe wants that oil (the reason we took over Libya) then they can go fight for it if they choose.  Or they can continue to get their oil and gas from Russia and pay the Danegeld to Putin.
