But Trump did not make a campaign promise to put the armed forces to work at their job. He stated that ONLY HE could defeat ISIS. ONLY HE had the secret plan. Delegation is well within Hillary or Bernie's exhibited powers.Do you know of any evidence that Trump recognizes this? At any point did he indicate that a military victory over ISIS was NOT the only thing we would have to accomplish in order to be safe from ISIS?However on the long term we will have to tackle the political ideology of ISIS and similar groups which will be more complex.
He has constantly flogged the fears and promised bombing them into the stone age AND shooting their families.
If you know of any place he promised or even discussed coming to grips with their ideology rather than just flexing military might, I'd love to see it.
All presidential candidates campaign on defeating terrorism. The ideology is the long term objective The military issue would work better if we cooperate with Russia on this. Then the US should then cease supporting or starting wars in the region.
