I have heard that too, but the decision to attack or not to attack sits with the commander and chief. I also agree that the President should of been advised up front with the number of casualties in the beginning, usually this is the case. Strange that it was not the case this time. Thanks to President for having the mindset to say hold up and asking the question. This is one of the many things that candidate Donald Trump ran on, not evolving the U.S. in never ending wars. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A43 2019/03/03 (Windows/64) * Origin: Capital Station BBS * telnet://csbbs.dyndns.org * (1:267/150)
