Standard Republican presidential policy.
When you have no clue what to do, beef up the military !
1. Half the country will say they feel safer.
2. Great way of employing poor folk from the Southern states.
3. Unlikely to be challenged by Congress or the Senate.
4. EVERY Republican president since the Reagan era has managed to find at least one nation to pick a fight with !
That employs troops; arms manufacturers; vehicle technicians; food suppliers; uniform suppliers: boot manufacturers etc etc.
War is 'good' for failing economies !

4. Obama and Hitlery were the ones that started bombing Syria, Yemen, Libya and Tunisia when none of them were threats to the U.S. or our allies. Obama was sending troops to Afghanistan to fight Al Qeda and the Taliban and he was actively supporting them in Syria.
