rachel's thoughts on syria.... from a marine's prospective and not what most would think

hi I thought today I would share a piece of my feeling on more than my gender

Syria? no matter my opinion on syria as a marine I know we are what is know as " the president's own" and can be engaged in combat for up to 90 days without congress' approval. my opinion is we have fought enough wars in foreign countries and I have seen the longterm effects combat of veterans at the portland va. I never was in combat but I was outside iran in 79 and because of the failed attempt to rescue the hostages the go ahead was never given by president carter. in my heart I wish we would have been the go to rescue the hostages. this weighs heavy on my heart even today. but in syria there are no hostages and what is the truth ? is this worth filling more body bags of our young men and women? I hope this president weighs all of this unlike the criteria that was used to go into iraq. this is my thoughts on syria

fyi had I been in combat I would been a different woman. as a vietnam veteran told me long ago ... combat changes you and one sees the cruelty that mankind imposes on another human being. my point of view is that that young man or woman that is killed in combat could have been the next president or an Einstein or who knows a rachel or one of you.......

I am a marine but believe that only when all alternative are exhausted should one use the military option.... the problem is every war or conflict is decided upon political and profit ..... question? how much money this corp america make in iraq........ billions................. and how many young men and women came back in body bags............

i have a strong opinion of war and packing our young men and women in body bags for profit of corps
