4,000 U.S. Troops Head To Kuwait For Possible Showdown With ISIS

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

As Congress mulls America’s war with the Islamic State terror group, more than 4,000 Fort Carson soldiers prepared Thursday to leave Colorado for Kuwait, where they will take over as America’s largest ground force in the troubled region.

The 3rd Brigade Combat Team bid farewell to the post in a ceremony and will head off soon to serve as U.S. Central Command’s Reserve force in the Middle East – the first soldiers into battle if a major combat force is used to battle Islamic State fighters.

The unit is Fort Carson’s heaviest force, armed with tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles. Many of its soldiers are veterans of one or more of the brigade’s four combat tours in Iraq.

“We’re no strangers to deployment,” the brigade’s commander, Col. Greg Sierra told a crowd gathered for the ceremony.

Feels wrong.

The guy who takes his cue for a golf outing from the most recent beheading to reach the news was warned not to try and close GTMO and not to pull troops from Iraq otherwise it would allow for what is now happening, to happen. So, let's just call it a random episode of something, about something, for something that isn't really too serious.

I'm quite sure however that the parents holding their beheaded children in their arms and the wives of the hundreds of men who have been ethnic cleansed feel quite differently about what is serious and what is not serious.

We're getting ready to clean up once again...

Sending our fighting men to that region when the PUTZ_in office is unwilling to define who the enemy is, is absolutely INSANE madness. This prez needs to step down and get the hell out of the way and let someone take over who wears big boy pants.

Too late for that. We already invaded Iraq and created a mess in the region. The prez you refer to already stepped down and Obama is doing the clean up, big boy pants and all. You need to talk to the comrades at CCC so they can get you better internet access.

The war was won and under control. He was warned to not pull the troops or this would happen. You're so wrapped in this man's drama you've actually followed him onto the plank. News flash. He can't walk on water, and he's in way over his head.

I say sit back and let the middle east handle it for a little while. Why we always got to be the first?

To be fair, the mess was always there, it was held under by the boot of a dictator. Without a dictator, most of these countries will fracture into smaller pieces (including our allies)
