    And The United States can fill a support role. No problem. The front line troops should all come from the European NATO members.

    That's just what Putin would want. Nope, we have to be committed to this thing if we are to be a strong and trustworthy friend, partner and ally.

    When you say "we" does that mean you'll be enlisting?

    Nope. I wouldn't qualify anyway.

    This selfish attitude doesn't work, you know. You see the Ukrainians or Russians carrying on the way you are? It's important to maintain a team mentality.

    Sure we have, but only when we've committed to it. The problem always ends up being political will, too much emphasis on "limited engagements" and whatnot, and too many fights with ragtag militants in deserts no one has seen or heard of, where their successes are relatively small-scale and unpublished or unnoticed.

    I knew you'd play the "Won't somebody think of the children?!" card eventually. It's the latest craze.

    We have gained far more being the worlds policeman the past 80 years than it's cost us.

    If you have friends/family in the military....you'll understand.....and also where our partners depend on us.

    If you've been in theater like I have..you'll know.

    I know we don't need to send our kids to die while there are millions of European kids who can do it, instead.

    Our people are in Europe in NATO countries. You of course just like those of us who know what has been going on in Europe know that. We US had troops in Ukraine before Putin invaded in Feb 2022. We pulled our trainers out after this invasion so as to not to have accidental contact with Russian military.

    There be some special operations personnel, but there aren't any regular line units, nor should there be.
