And they want to use women in front line...
What kind of BS is this?
Obama bends over backwards to avoid killing civilians... to the detriment of having an effective military offense!
Drones are the most surgically precise weapon we have. Yes, there will be civilian casualties in ANY act of war. It goes with the territory.
It is impossible to wage an immaculate war!!!
There's always a line you need to draw in the rules of engagement. I doubt anyone here will agree it's been drawn too conservatively in terms of use of force.
If the collateral damage was Muslims killed I really don't care. Just keep at it until they are all dead.
Of course being shot at is going to make you angry. It's war. ISIS has been begging and egging for the west to come after them. Go for it.

Oh yes the current ROE are.
This President has imposed the most restrictive, cockamamie retarded ROE in the nations history.
For example, he's forcing the military to drop leaflets, to tell ISIS basically "hey you better not be driving those trucks, on this day at this time. Because we are coming to bomb them then."
He's made the military do that twice now.
The Story was at a certain website that's in the tank for Trump so I won't post their link here.
While I am all for taking out our enemies with drone attacks.
Just out of the blue, bam the mooslime savages are dead.
I have to say I take issue with Obama's contention that he has the right to use them here, at home, against American citizens.
In the same fashion. The Constitution applies to citizens here at home in America.
It does not however apply to mooslime savages in Syria.
