Media will report that he's speaking in support of white supremacy.

I did too for the most part. I certainly appreciated his poopcanning nation building, and his opening remarks.
I thought NBC's post speech comments were very fair.
Going to say right now that I think the idea of "Victory" in Afghanistan is a farce.....but if we are going to fight the war, I would rather fight it the way he is describing.
180 out from the muslime we had before.
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
I was hoping for "I've suspended all rules of engagement"
I was under the impression he said that-
No?

No?He may have hinted at it, but I didn't hear anything emphatic enough to make me believe we were taking the restraints completely off our military. I really hope I'm wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember the "rules of engagement from when I was in Vietnam"; they sucked!!!!!!!!!!!

On a serious note, James, did you really get the feeling that the rules of engagement would be suspended? We were eating supper and watching the speech; perhaps I missed it!

I also got the impression that if it takes putting a dictatorship in place to secure the peace, he'd be willing to do that.
"Nation building" is over.

I did, Bill, but Trump seems to have left a tiny bit of wiggle room, which is prudent.
does this mean our marines can start taking ears again ?
Memories.
It definitely sounded like rules of engagement were going to be loosened.Rack, that's what worries me! They are so ridiculous now that loosening could mean almost anything! I sure hope you guys are right in that it will really be a meaningful change!!!!!!

I did, Bill, but Trump seems to have left a tiny bit of wiggle room, which is prudent.James, we both know that "wiggle room" can be very detrimental to those in harm's way!!!!!!
For our military's sake, I sure hope you guys are right in your optimism!!!!!!

There was obviously a compromise between Trump and the establishment warmongers, and I feel it was Trump who demanded that we would kick *, but there will not be any nation building like the establishment Bush & Obama pursued, one world order police crap. In exchange the establishment and the brass got what they wanted in The rules of engagement arena. Maybe I'm all wet though.

I guess I just wanted to hear him bluntly say "we're going to kill all of them and then sort it out"! [:D]
