Warfighters Win Battles Politicians Lose Wars Us Strategic B

we'll all go boon'll go I'll go, it will go do it. But understand that that cost exists and it doesn't go away and that shit is expensive. And why is Kenton's family suffering needlessly and doesn't have all the care they need? You know, I have died. That's a good point. I have no problem whatsoever killing and pillaging on behalf of Rome. But when I come home, I want to be taken care of. Yeah. And that's big. That's that's big. That's been a big issue. You know, war fighters fight wars. And that's what we're supposed to do. We're supposed to win, win battles. But you know, it's the war fight that wins all the battles is the politician that loses all the wars. Hey, this is P. Day Turner from the break it down show checking in real quick to ask you this.

Click on the donate tab, pick an amount that you want to come out each month and they will handle all the rest. I stand behind these folks. Thank you so much. Let's get back to the show. You know, it's the war fight that wins all the battles is the politician that loses all the wars. That's just the way that's just the way it goes. So you know, when I'm looking at the situation right now, yeah, we do have to focus on stuff at home, but we can't take our eye off the ball overseas. But again, and again, and again, you do have to ask yourself, okay, what is what is the United States strategic objective in that particular conflict? Do we have a strategic objective right now? Are there any US interest involved right now? Because if there's not, I mean, I think if you're the commander in chief, if you if you're, you know, if you're if you're part of the, you know, Joint Chiefs of Staff, I think you, the way you decide things is a, are there US interest involved and B, you know, what's the strategic objective? And if we don't have any stake, literally a stake in that, what is our stake in the game right now? Everybody's bitching about us pulling out, but okay, tell me what we have to gain by staying. And I know people are going to say, well, you know, the people are, you know, they need us. And you know what they do, they do need us. And there's people in Africa that need us. And there's people in China that need us. There's people all over the world that need us. So if the, if the standard is when somebody needs us, we have to go, okay, now I'm talking from the SIOP perspective, you know, that's how we motivate the populace to be okay with going to wars, we say, hey, people need us, we are needed, we must do this. Okay, but when you're making that decision from a, from a political, strategic, geopolitical standpoint, that that's not really a motivator. The motivator is what do we have to gain? And right now, I don't, you know, what do we have to gain? Nobody's making that case. Everybody's like, oh, well, they need us. And we, you know, okay, but what do we have to gain? Like right now? What do we have to gain? Well, we can't turn our back on the Kurds. You know, I agree, we can't turn our back on the Kurds. But do we take over Syria because of it? Well, and the other thing, let me jump in here. We are concerned about ISIS, we're concerned about Turkey, you know, having an incursion into Syria. And those things are sort of important. But let's be honest, lately, we care a whole lot more about that Turkish border than we do our own southern border, you know, like, so, so if it's cool for people to walk around with no border in our country, and we're not that worried about it, then it must be cool over there. Why are we getting smoked over there? Why are we in in the way of look, those are sovereign nations. If Syria can't defend its border in Syria, and Turkey wants to come in to push Syrian refugees back into Syria. That sounds like Syrian and Turkish business.
