    I think I know what's going to happen soon...

    President Trump banning transgenders from the military, along with him going ahead and signing off on the budget so that our Military has everything it needs now, might just may be because the U.S. is gearing up for war. Getting the bullish!t out of the way now and beefing up on the bullets and beans for a long haul that's probably unavoidable.

    From someone who has been there I believe that you are correct. The U.S. has been at odds with an ideology since the early 1990's, 911 was just a "battle" of sorts. Iran is the enemy as they are a mainstay of some of the opposition. Fortunately for US the opposition is opposed to each other as being different sects and physically do not get along.

            That's a LONG way from happening, due to liberal court injunctions that will take years to make it to the Supremes. That's on top of the resistance shown by the military itself--one of the very most PC institutions in the country!

            Trump has previously denounced both the Irag & Afghan wars as the greatest wastes of men & money in recent history, which is obviously true, so why would he go out of his way to add to those losses? It would be good, however, to crush Turkey, now waging war against the only true allies we have in the Muslim world, the Kurds.

              Seems nobody likes or cares about the Kurds. As far as being our allies, I wouldn't want to bet on that. We've hung them out to dry in a "Bay of Pigs" fashion more than once over the past few decades. They don't forget. They only remember who's buttering their bread today.

                  Well, why should they forget those who promised help but let them down? Nevertheless, they are the most reliable, least radical, of all the Muslims in that area.

                    I've no knowledge about that or anything. However, it's a fact that the President has been briefed on what the probable and foreseeable political and military scenarios and outcomes are and will be around our planet should we do or not do whatever things that should be done in order to insure that we survive as a country.
                    That's standard SOP.
                    For instance, if China perceives we are weak, it might decide to agress against and take Taiwan.
                    Korea is an imminent threat.
                    Iran is a terrorist state with ties to Korea.
                    If anything goes really bad in South or Central America to the point of revolutions taking place, it's a fact that there are and have been contingency plans for our military to seal the entire Southern border. I was part of that planning and training for it years ago so I'm aware of it.
                    For weeks, there were U.S. choppers of every type that flew training missions along the border. At the Operations Command in Ft. Bliss, they would Hot Refuel 24/7 at the Bag Farm or Refueling Pad that consisted of several 5,000 gallon bags containing Diesel, Mogas and JP4.
                    Hot refueling is when the chopper lands and refuels with the engine still running, then immediately takes off again.
                    Anyway, sh!t happens and I feel that we're getting ready for it. Not to react, but to end a threat.

                          Nah. He is trying to get the military back to pre-Obama standards.

                            Unclear.

                            One the one hand is the current administration's penchant for bellicose, combative approaches to...everything.

                            On the other hand, millitary campaigns (successful ones at least) take a lot of advance planning at multiple levels.

                            Are there any "cakewalks" like Iraq waiting out there for US intervention?

                              Certainly! All we need to do is....covertly install another puppet Shah in Iran and let them do the fighting for a while. What could go wrong?
