One of the criticisms of drone strikes is they're easy and a different administration could use them even more. Which came true.

And one of the criticisms of the all the different candidates and Presidents in the past 20 years is that they've just continued doing what the previous one did, or did it worse. Obama worse than Bush, Trump worse than Obama.
Obama also turned JSOC into a killing machine that assassinated people all over the world without due process of any kind, including a complete lack of oversight. But, nobody gave a ##### unless independent media started making people aware of it, and even then nobody cared. Especially not the Democrats who many on here think are not completely bought and paid for by the lobbyists that yank their chains.
That was despite promising to bring home the troops, something he campaigned on.
And lets be clear, a drawdown in troop levels in a good thing.
My issue is that Trump now pledges to do a troop drawdown and not a single poster here can look at it and call it a move in a positive direction.
Like the Obama expansion on the war on terror, nobody gives a ##### because it makes their guy look bad.
