Martin Dempsey: “We are putting our military on a path where the force is so degraded and so unready that it would be immoral to use…”

I would not recommend we put United States forces in harm's way... simply to stiffen the spine of local forces.

ISIL would love nothing more than a large presence of United States forces on the ground in Iraq and Syria so that they could have a call to jihad.

ISIL's future is increasingly dim as more nations join the anti-ISIL effort.

The first step will be to prevent Iran from acquiring advanced, offensive weapons by working with our partners.
