Besides, the troops would be angry with him for taking so long to get them out of the war.

So if it's cowardly of Trump - then wasn't it also cowardly of Truman, Kennedy, Ford, Carter and Reagan? (I'm not counting Korea)

Never said it's cowardly of Trump...

Just keep putting your own words in my mouth if that helps you feel better though...

Good point. I conflated your post with others.

Considering that previous presidents all did it about 4 or 5 times in their mandates it's not uncommon. Didn't say a lot but not uncommon.

And as far as I know he didn't visit troops in war zone that they be active or not.

How about you stop thinking we I have some kind of agenda against the guy? You keep saying shit like "good try" "nice try" like it's a personnal accomplishment to prove he made a mistake or failed at some point...

No, previous presidents didn't go 4-5 times.

Roosevelt, Truman, Ike, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush41, Clinton, Bush43, Obama

That's 13 presidents - or 2x per presidency.

And, if one discounts Korea - outside of Ike in 52 you can subtract 8 visits making that 19 "war zones."  I would subtract two of Roosevelt's visits as well. The Germans had no forces capable of striking in February of 1945.

So if it's cowardly of Trump - then wasn't it also cowardly of Truman, Kennedy, Ford, Carter and Reagan? (I'm not counting Korea)

Regardless of the President, why would he go to a war zone?There are military generals who should be in such zones and report on the situation from there.When will such zones finally disappear on our home planet?Why not live peacefully and not kill people.

I suppose now you guys can break down the amount of time it took him to go, compare it to others, and claim it means something.

It is extremely uncommon for a sitting president to visit active war zones for pretty obvious security reasons. Nice attempt at a hit piece tho. Maybe next time.

Not so uncommon.

Offhand I imagine those troops would prefer a president that arranges for them to go home, rather than one that visits them in the war zone.

Ditto on that one..  The so called peaceful communist coward Obama did nothing but kill hundreds of thousands of people, all while claiming to be the uniter.  By the end of his presidency there was more division , more corruption and more war than the past 3 presidents combined. Maybe the dumb socialists will wake up one day and see who they have to thank for the mass graves lying across africa and the middle east. He sure united people, 6 feet under.



Funny, Trump didn't get us in to Syria, but he is getting us out of it, still he is a warmonger right? Your brain is made of putty ready to be shaped to what ever bullshit makes you feel right on any given day.

Why you mix Syria and Iraq here? USA interest for Syria is at this moment very low, and Trump is decide to withdraw military forces from there, why he not make the same move in Iraq?

Your comment about my brain is a very uncivilized form of communication, and just shows something about you as person...

Because he is the first president in a long time to actually REDUCE wars not increase them, but hey who cares about peace right? Not like this is a demonstration of his will to stop meddling in the middle east or anything... no he can only be a warmonger because the head in the glowing talkey box told me so. Get yourself some principles first then we can talk about being civilized.

President Trump's domination of the news cycle overshadowed a lot of significant news in 2018. Here are some of the other stories you might have missed.

Once a man, twice a child!
I can't blame the man. He never hid his efforts to avoid being anywhere that's close to a conflicted territory but his fear may serve as an incentive to invest in more projects to develop immersive technologies so that he can visit deployed soldiers without having to face any risk.

But he just visited the troop in Iraq. By the way, Trump is a civilian and not a soldier. Not visiting the troop in war tore areas doesn't mean he's a coward. He should take his time and do whatever that pleased him provided those pleasures of his do not conflict with the American Constitution.

...Since they defeated ISIS and Al-Qaeda, do they still look for weapons of mass destruction or just working on safe oil export from Iraq?....

American Fracking industry has changed this around. We don't care about "safe oil exports from Iraq."

Oil cannot be used to rationalize American actions.

Trump is finally visited a war zone, if we can call Iraq a war zone. In that country, people die every day but in most cases from car bombs which are actually sect violence approved by the occupation forces. Trump even take his charming wife in this war zone and they have good time there by motivating their troops to continue their fight against terror. Since they defeated ISIS and Al-Qaeda, do they still look for weapons of mass destruction or just working on safe oil export from Iraq?

The view from a different angle, Trump also caused a minor diplomatic incident - but we all know Iraq is just one more playground for USA, and they play by their own rules.

I'd say the poster of this thread is biting his dogs finger nails right about now.  Trump spent Christmas in IRAQ with a bad ass speech and a show of love for the troops.. What did the communist queer do ?  Don't spend too much time thinking of the answer because he did nothing and spent his Christmas with his disgusting ape looking wife sitting around hating America..

Long live Trump.

Die quickly obuma , or should I say Frank Marshall Davis JR II

be constructive or S.T.F.U
No body is launching any war on the U.S ,  the "war zones" you talk about are others country's lands that the U.S invaded in the name of "War on Terror" bullshit. that being said, Trump is smart enough not to go places where he is most certainly not welcomed. and as for the U.S army maybe it's about time to go back home and stop pretending the world peace maker. every places that the U.S army stepped foot at had only became a better place on American TV and Media while in reality it only got worse. so what fucking "war zones" are you talking about ?

Hey, but Hillary went there, like right into those COMBAT ZONES, man, and like, she got shot at and all that, and I heard all this so it's true, like whoa, because CNN told me.
Why do you even talk about Hillary?
Hating Trump doesn't mean loving Hillary...
Are you so much in the binary system?
