The pro-Palestine propagandists certainly were trying to start WWIII... using lies about the hospital to try and instigate violent rioting at the embassies of countries supporting Israel in the hopes of another Benghazi.

Disgraceful.

It's sad to think I once had some sympathies for Palestine. With this Hamas BS, it's hard to keep that sympathy up.

If Hamas drags the West into war, and Palestinians try to play both sides, it will be very difficult for me to have any sympathy for Palestinians ever again.

^ Adding on, I am fed up with bit dramatic acts of terrorism. I have had more than my fill in a lifetime. I am tired of war. I am completely burned out. There is no more that can be done to shock and appall me. It's all been done. The rubber hits the road with terrorism and hostage taking for me. You've burned me out. I've had my fill. I can't hear what you have to say or relate at that point. Choose to seek political solutions, or choose Hamas and terror. That is a road to nowhere though. And know that any double dealing and playing both sides is painfully obvious.

You're tired of war? I can't think of a span of 20, 30, 50 years with less war in the US. We haven't had a draft in since 1973. The last war that we were involved a war with significant numbers of deaths was Vietnam. Not even 20 years prior to Vietnam (58k dead) with had Korea (36k dead) 5 years prior to Korea we had WWI (400k us dead) 20 years before that we had WWI (115k us dead). Both Iraq wars plus Afghanistan are less than 10k US Kia. This is the least was the US has experienced arguably ever

Really? My spouse has been in a lot of combat since 9/11. Yes, I'm tired of war. I'm more tired of the terrorism that necessitates war. Yes, it must be answered, but if anyone in any way supports terrorism, I am done with them. It is the bane of the world. Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Hezbollah, Taliban, weird European terrorist groups in the 70s, Weather Underground, PLO, Isis, Muslim Brotherhood, fringe extremist groups hiding in the jungles of the Philippines, Hamas. You all suck and everyone who hides behind you does too.

The nice thing about a professional army is that your spouse made the choice to fight. This isn’t like prior wars where a bad draft number meant you were cannon fodder

Yes, I agree with you. Our fathers were drafted. My spouse made a choice.

Our fathers are both alive and kicking by the way, but agree that a professional army is better than a draft, and if we return to a draft it should include both sons and daughters since we have promoted so many equity initiatives in our professional military.
