You may not agree but sometimes things require troops on the ground.

I saw the picture of a toddler who drowned when his family tried fleeing the conflict in Syria by boat. It is pure tragic and very stupid this situation over there led to this. A situation so bad people risk crossing the Mediterranean in overcrowded boats to escape. Most of the blame can fall on ISIS and the Syrian government, but a bit of that blame can fall on world leaders who say they want to help end this but in reality have no clue how or choose not to follow the advice given to the by military advisors.
One of those is our own President. President Obama's current policy / strategy of using air strikes and training local fighters to deal with the problem is flawed, and greatly so. The first problem is knowing your friends and allies. We do not know this because many over there tend to change allegiances depending on what they can gain personally. Some of the fighters we train defect to the other side and use tactics they learned against us or our allies. Supplying weapons over their is like issuing a convicted murder a pistol after he is released on parole. And somehow I think the air strikes are being run too much the way some were during Vietnam. Never handcuff your forces by running a war based on politics, it does not work. Never fight over the same territory twice, always fight to win, but our allies keep gaining and losing ground over and over.
This has turned into a humanitarian crisis because of the lack of resolve to put an end to it. It is political posturing by countries and leaders where nothing is done. Have we not learned from history that you cannot win a war with air power alone. Air power is a tool to be used to further a strategy it has to be supplemented with a solid ground component to work.
Using superior air power to supplement a weak disorganized ground force is a waste of lives, both soldiers and citizens, and taxpayers dollars.
You want to end this crisis? Then bomb and sweep, and I don't mean with a small whisk broom but a full size push all the crap out of the way push broom composed of the U.S Army and Marine Corp.
Now I am not one to push for war but I know sometimes to set the world right you have to do what you got to do and when you do it don't do it halfway, you go full bore until the bad guys can't fight no more!
