Angry Rockets targeted a military base in Iraq...

At least 10 rockets targeted a military base in western Iraq that hosts U.S. led coalition troops on Wednesday.
It was the first attack since President Biden ordered the U.S. to strike the Iran-aligned militia targets along the Iraq-Syria border last week. It killed one militiaman and stoking fears of a possible repeat of a series of tit-for-tat attacks that escalated last year.
I guess it is just too little too late Mr President and it's time to step up the intensity of our drone attacks. Let's bomb any and all Syrian bases along the Iraq-Syria border and those within the range of the of the rockets they have. Not just bomb, take them completely off the face of the earth. NO warnings, no time to escape, just Achmed up in smoke.

More troops, wider war?

My son decided in about the 8th grade he wanted to be in the military and went into the Marine early entry program. He maxed the Marine PT test. He was bounced on his ship out physical likely because he had open heart surgery at 3. Although I spent quite a bit of effort trying to get him in the military, I failed.

I'm damned glad I failed because he could have spent a good chunk of a 20+ year career fighting a war we don't seem to want to end. Assuming he survived and was intact.
