I’m quite torn on this.

In the 1960’s I was quite anti-war. I was all for ending the Vietnam War and bringing the boys home. 58,000 dead in a foreign land seemed like enough.

Obama campaigned on ending the Mideast wars. I was disappointed that after 8 years we were still bogged down over there. I did not vote for McCain because of a comment that we’d be over there for 100 years if that’s what it took.

So I have to be sure I’m not slamming Trump for something just because he’s Trump.

I’m not convinced that our presence in the Mideast is worth the blood and treasure we’ve invested so far, much less continuing with no end in sight.

So, like I said, conflicted. And ready to listen to arguments from both sides.
 
I would fully support the withdrawal ... if the US presence in country was replaced with a massive effort to build, guard and support refugee camps in the surrounding countries.

When I begrudgingly signed the Omnibus Bill, I was promised the Wall and Border Security by leadership. Would be done by end of year (NOW). It didn’t happen! We foolishly fight for Border Security for other countries - but not for our beloved U.S.A. Not good!

ETA: and more -

"The Democrats, who know Steel Slats (Wall) are necessary for Border Security, are putting politics over Country. What they are just beginning to realize is that I will not sign any of their legislation, including infrastructure, unless it has perfect Border Security. U.S.A. WINS!"

So, we've gone from "I will shut down the government to get a wall", to Trump backing down over the issue, now we're back to threats of vetoing.

That's not true! Fake news!

What's fake about it is that the U.S. doesn't have allies. At least not any more. It was obvious in the first few months of Trump's presidency that the U.S. could not be Trusted, and that no country should ever be an 'ally' of the U.S. again.
