Once again, we learn nothing from history

A new CBS poll shows that for the first time a majority of Americans (57%) favor sending ground troops to combar ISIS.  Against a group that while responsible for some despicably heinous acts against American citizens, hasn't come within, oh, 6000 miles of any kind of attack on American soil.

For fuck's sake, we still have in our collective rearview mirror the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the lives lost and permanetly disabled, and the disaster they both wreaked on the American economy, and how little difference either of them really made...and still a majority of Americans want to start another one?  For fucking what?

Someone needs to boot a lot of Americans in the ass and remind them of the futility of fighting other people's battles (see also, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan).

Peace,
