Know thy Enemy - they are Growing out of the Weeds

Much of the same sentiment is being expressed today as it was back before we entered World War II.

In 1939, we had not yet emerged from the Great Depression. People were still suffering. We had a very small military of around 200,000 men. A year later, we passed a conscription law and eventually built up our military to over 12 million by the War's end. We were not ready to embrace another war so soon after World War I. We had to build up our military and build up our economy. And besides, the war was on the other side of the world, not something we needed to bother with. Eventually, we were forced to enter when Japan bombed our shores.

Today, we have an all volunteer military of around 1,361,755, 1/12th of what we had when we were at War. Obama is reducing it even further all the while terror reigns and our enemy has threatened to come to America, again. We recently were involved in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting terrorists but Obama has pulled troops out of those countries where DAESH reigns. We no longer have any troops in Iraq (boots on the ground) which opened up a vacuum for ISIS/Daesh. If anyone wants to know what or who caused ISIS, there's your answer.

What will it take to defeat these terrorists?  Knowing who the enemy is would be helpful. When will our president believe that there is a brutal enemy out there dying to get to our country and kill us? Even our airstrikes are way down. When will he understand that we don't know who these refugees really are and that there are enemy terrorist Muslim cells already in our country? What will it finally take--another invasion?

Amed Khan, (Read about Khan), former Clinton official says, "We bomb them, they grow out of the weeds again. They are not going to go away until they are just completely wiped out from the face of the Earth — and I mean doing everything."
