By the numbers: The US military buildup in the Middle East | CNN Politics

It's a show of force too

SPC Carl Davis Thanks for the Update!

SPC Carl Davis I agree. It's starting to seem like a build up to a brutal event in the Roman Colosseum pre-medieval times, for people who thrive on brutality. That or a few local gangs hanging out at the same Mom and Pop store, with hot trigger fingers, waiting for someone to fire the first shot.
Our military might is not for anyone's entertainment and does not need a bunch of cheerleaders taking sides,when they don't know anything about either side - and waiting around with baited breath to see what's next!
