Before the United States engages in further military action, I want you to answer my question: How can we be assured that forces in the region will cooperate with each other to stop ISIL on the ground? What will we do if they don't or won't fight to stop their area from this extremist invasion?
Why is this important?
Every move we make or don't make can lead to deepening the quagmire we created in Iraq and to increasing the national debt with no guarantee of success, whatever that might look like. It will make impossible demands on our tired volunteer forces and the families that try to support them. Many recent veterans are not getting the care they deserve.
Our country's crumbling infrastructure needs billions of dollars for repairs. Before the United States engages in further military action, I want you to answer my question.
