With all this talk about military action in Syria it is a topic of concern for active military. Right now there seems to be more questions then answers. Questions like:<\/p>\n
1. If troops are committed to the ground, how will the threat of insider attacks similar to those that happened in Afghanistan be confronted? <\/p>\n
2. With the VA still in backlog over claims from the conflict from Iraq and Afghanistan, what is the plan of action to ensure military personal wounded\/injuries from a military operation in Syria have effective and prompt medical care?<\/p>\n
3.With US troops still in Afghanistan until late 2014 and the reduction in total force size, how is it possible to avoid being overstretched. Especially if the operation becomes extended like the OIF and OEF?<\/p>\n
4.Considering how results from the missile strikes in the Pakistan border in the past ten years, how will a missile strike in Syria have a different outcome then the one that we have been launching for the past few years? <\/p>\n
I mean for me it seems that the current Administration is is having a very hard time ending the conflict in Afghanistan, what would give use the confidence in them in starting\/escalating a conflict? Will the ROEs be more realistic in the sense of giving our troops the ability to defend themselves without the fear of a Courts Martial every time they pull the trigger? What happens if troops are committed, will the Administration have the same enthusiasm in supporting the mission? That same enthusiasm that that seems to be lacking in Afghanistan for the past few years. <\/p>\n
Which brings the real question is;<\/p>\n
Why should think that a operation in Syria would not end badly or prolonged involvement considering how things are going in Afghanistan and on the home front for the Veterans of OEF?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
