Rules of engagement requiring more than an hour to launch an attack. Pilots complaining openly about furstration in their efforts. Are we really going after ISIS or is this simply a ruse to show effort with no goal to win or strategy and tactics to support?

kind of seems that we are just dropping bombs, but then again they dont tell us a fraction of what they do. Hopefully spec ops is getting legit war heads on foreheads there.

I agree w/ Capt Seid Waddell Waddell. We are doing the minimum possible to appear that we are assisting, however, the fact that long processional parades are allowed to occur when they take over another city w/o any hint of an airstrike shows just how committed the ones making the calls really are.

The fact that they move across an open desert in some sizeable force with little concern for an airstrike should be concerning. That terrain is designed to take out threats from the air and they still advance from city to city.
