I get "sight" surveys all the time! Usually I have to go out and double-check their work because they failed to write it down...
Getting back to the topic, earlier this morning (Sun, Jan 5) the Iraqi Parliament passed a resolution to end the presence of foreign troops within Iraq and ensure they not use its land, air, and waters for any reason. Resolutions like this from Parliament are non-binding to the government, but Iraq's Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi asked for the resolution. So, basically, that looks like troops from the US and elsewhere are going to be ordered out of the country. And that will leave Iraq's troops having to fight ISIS, which is still around to some degree.
Big obvious question: will our government pull our troops out of that region when asked or ordered to do so?

I DO NOT like how Trump said we will hit their culture sites... That is wrong on many levels.
You mean the same intelligence community that this administration has slammed for the last three years?
It's also illegal to purposefully destroy cultural sites is considered a war crime as per UN resolution 2347.

Thats exactly what Zarif the Iranian Foreignn Minister said after he read Trump's tweet.
All the "grown-ups" have left the building.

It would not bother me at all if he (Trump) leveled Iran and made it a desert. Ronald Reagan destroyed most of their navy when he was president and it shut them up for awhile. Genghis Khan took it over without a problem.
The Iranians would like to see Trump act like Obama and Kerry and give them more money and time to develop a A bomb. Those Sh'ite holy men are nasty people.

Ya know, y'all are acting as if Iran can back it's threats and conduct business as usual. I could gives a rat's behind what they say or demand. They all go around destroying our skyscrapers and pussy footing around the world, while killing others and leaving a trail of dead 1,000s upon 1,000s of totally innocent people. All hding their faces and conducting themselves like back alley hoods. After it's all over, they take claim. A bunch of twits like the world has never seen. They are cowards and unethical pigs. If they want us outta the area, then get rid of every last one all around the world and send them all back there. Once we make the trade off..... then we could come up with another plan, knowing where they all are located.

Dammit, make it faster!!
I too, am inelligle, but I'd go in a heartbeat if called upon. I stood ready when the announcement came of Desert Storm. I remember it well, I was on duty at the time, stationed in new Mexico. We had special bags packed and ready with lock tags on them. Were told to keep them ready and once the announcement was made we were to "unlock them". Those bags were in my closet for years until that night. The announcement came in and instantly there were many "hooray's" but also mixed with tears. Turns out within a few days we were told we wouldn't need them and an order of "stand down" came in. I did have a chance to take part in Operation Provide Comfort and spent 88 days in tent city Turkey.
I now have 2 stepsons that are active duty and haven't heard any thoughts from them.

Thank you for your service....................
Appreciate it, and I'll definitely be poring one out for all the boys and girls that will have to fight this next one!
I have a lot of good memories from my service, but I also remember that massive sigh of release when I held my dd214. I think I would go willingly, but only at my own time. In fact, if they'd waiver me and offer a promotion, I'd probably reenlist.
That would have been interesting. I was in Germany as a MP and had many of those 24hr deployment notices, notably to Israel, Syria, Libya, Cyprus, and Africa in 2012/14. We were woken up on the night of the Benghazi and was told to prepare to leave, but nothing happened and we didn't even know what was going on or where we'd be going. After I got out, I had a few friends end up in Africa for the Ebola stuff, so I was happy to have missed that. Some times I feel as if I didn't really fulfill my duties cause I never deployed, so that part of me would be itching to sign back up, then I'd remember all the things that made me get out.
