There's nothing good about Russia's activity in Syria.
No officer wants to be involved in a justified use of force proven unnecessary after the fact, any more than soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan wanted to make what proved to be the wrong decision in a shoot-don't-shoot situation. Those decisions, even if justified, live with you forever, believe me.
We have taught Iran's leaders and the world a very bad lesson: that there is a price on the head of Americans to be held hostage.
The purpose of our common defense, after all, is to protect our people so that we can enjoy the blessings of peace, faith, freedom, family, prosperity.

We need to significantly increase the number of bombing runs we're conducting in Iraq and Syria.
I'm not going to respond to every single thing that Donald Trump has to say or that Hillary Clinton says.
Most of who's left in the administration now are all these yes men and fanboys who were van drivers or press flacks for Barack Obama in Iowa and New Hampshire in 2008.
The NSA is not listening to anyone's phone calls. They're not reading any Americans' e-mails. They're collecting simply the data that your phone company already has, and which you don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy, so they can search that data quickly in the event of a terrorist plot.
It would be very dangerous and unwise to proceed with the Senate Judiciary bill, which would lead to the release of thousands of violent felons.
Jimmy Carter proposed withdrawing the troops from South Korea. He was stopped by the United States Congress.
Hillary Clinton exposed our nation's most sensitive national security secrets to foreign adversaries.
Guantanamo Bay can be and has been visited repeatedly by the International Red Cross and other human-rights groups for observation in an open, regular, and transparent manner. Detainees receive the same medical care as the guard force and are able to participate in their daily prayer sessions.
