A few Boots touching ground isn't the problem.
A lot of Boots staying on the ground would be a problem, and a very big one WRT to IR (much worse than OIF/OEF). For the US. IL seems to be talking up the need for BoG this week, perhaps they're hoping we'll do that for them?
Trump promises "No boots on the ground." You: "Good."
Trump immediately breaks that promise by deploying ground forces with "limited scope." You: "Also good."
Maybe the
real TDS is the
blind loyalty that permits Trump and others to
say anything,
do anything, and
get away with everything.
