Maybe the real TDS is the blind loyalty that permits Trump and others to say anything, do anything, and get away with everything.
Both can be true. No boots on ground to accomplish objectives is amazing. However if troops on ground is needed to accomplish certain objectives then you need to do what you need to do. Obviously nobody wants another Iraq or Afghanistan and if this becomes a long term thing then yes even Trump will lose support from his most arduous supporters.
