That's the issue with this notion of "exceptionalism". If the masses will swallow that, they will forget that they are really the subjects on an empire economically colonizing the planet, and that war since WWII for us has been used for nothing but wealth extraction.It looks like President Trump is doing what Obama was afraid of doing...trusting his military with local decisions.Kaboom!!!!

Well looks like the Donald found the toy box.
Unlike Obama who's military was SO afraid... they handed out this card to the troops.
A laminated card with the following text was distributed to all U.S. Army and Marine personnel in Iraq.
Policies about limiting civilian casualties have soldiers complaining they can't effectively fight; one showed author Michael Hastings a card with regulations including
"Patrol only in areas that you are reasonably certain that you will not have to defend yourselves with lethal force."
For a soldier who has traveled halfway around the world to fight, that’s like telling a cop he should only patrol in areas where he knows he won’t have to make arrests. “Does that make any f–king sense?” Pfc. Jared Pautsch.
In Afghanistan, a New General -- But An Old Strategy
Different military for sure!
I think you need to slow down a bit and see what the fall out (pun intended) is going to be from Trump's actions. If it leads to a major war requiring boots on the ground or reinstating the draft, then you're going to look even more like the idiot that you already are.
So you are a micro-war manager..eh?
Did you know that the Obama administration determined political consequences FIRST on EVERY military action?
Benghazi for example. Rather then have an embarrassment 6 weeks before re-election he chose a video to blame !
Again... political considerations before military!
The critics have a point. While saying he would never take options off the table, Obama made clear that restraint was his primary choice. The result has been that those who wish America ill may have had little incentive not to defy it. Exhibit number one for these critics was the President’s failure to enforce his own red line in Syria--a failure that contributed to a perception of weakness.
Obama’s foreign policy: Not every global problem has an American solution
Goldman Sachs was running the white house all along shoog, still is, would have been had Hil been elected too. Same as it ever was.America was on pause for eight years, but now it's back.Kaboom!!!!

So I guess that shot about not going all over the world was just the bait to get votes and now his supporters have to defend a complete reversal.
President Trump does not fool around. The Pentagon wanted to target these tunnels for years.
Well when ya got nothing of substance, sling "commie".That's the issue with this notion of "exceptionalism".

I bet Lumnuts is the life of the party......the communist party.
I agree and one wonders what North Korea and Iran think of this??
Talk about a message sent.

Cute try!
Candidate Donald Trump promised that he would defeat ISIS. This is fulfilling this promise. We fully realize what an utter shock it is to you, given your experience with petulant former President Barack Hussein Obama, that a President actually fulfills his promises.
President Obama allowed 1,400 innocent civilians to be murdered by Assad with illegal poison gas. President Obama turned his back and did NOTHING.
President Trump has demonstrated that poison gas is not allowed. PERIOD!
314 million dollars for an airbust bomb on an underground complex. I thought Americans wanted to spend last overseas? What happened to America first?
You have starving seniors and homeless veterans, while you spend 314 million to kill several hundred millitiamen in Central Asia. How is that America first?
