A viewpoint created by those who oppose anything the president does.
Of the many controversial things Trump said during the campaign, none seemed to grate more than his suggestion that he “knows more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me.” It turns out, that’s true. Not only did he step on the gas against ISIS and abandon the parallel (and contradictory) goal of regime change in Syria, he also knows that a successful campaign must eventually be brought to a conclusion.
If ISIS does reemerge, it’s not the responsibility of the United States but those governments in the region who should be responsible for their own defense and security. The American voters have said that we can no longer be the policeman for the world.
More of this @ Trump Is Smarter Than the Generals
Today Trump is behaving with the shrewdness and self-awareness of a civilian commander-in-chief who knows, with Clemenceau, that war is too important to be left to the generals. Trump recognizes too, with another French leader, Charles de Gaulle, that the cemeteries are full of indispensable men.
