After wars USA many times leaves an active military presence in countries, such as South Korea, Okinawa and Germany. Today we still have a military presence in South Korea. If we were to leave South Korea, it would fall to North Korea; millions of lives would be lost.
In America we have a large Vietnamese population because President Nixon pulled ALL of our troops out of Vietnam leaving a vacuum in Vietnam. This allowed the Communist Việt Cộng and North Vietnamese to murder ...any who supported US causes. Thousands of Vietnamese fled Vietnam to other countries for survival.
The US had a secret war with its own secret US Army in Laos. In 1973 we pulled all of our support from the Lao, Hmong, Kmu and Mein who had fought for the US as their Secret Army.
We left our secret army behind to face the Pathet Lao Communist forces who over threw Laos in 1975. Thousands were able to make it out of Laos into Thailand, and then to America. Thousand were unable to escape and fled to the Mountains of Laos and tried to out run the chasing Communist forces for 30 plus years. Over 50% of these men, women & children died from violent deaths at the hands of Communist Pathet Lao & Vietnamese Communist Soldiers.
Every President of the United States has to pick up the plate from the previous administrations. I might not have agreed with President Bush on going into Iraq, but once our forces were there, we needed to remain there; we needed to have boots on the ground to protect the people we had freed and fought for.
I believe when President Obama came into office he determined to pull all of our troops out of Iraq, he was naïve, not understanding the big hole he would created by leaving a vacuum once fill by our troops.
In 2010 he did just that, he pulled all of our peace keeping forces out of Iraq on December 18, 2010. The consequences were devastating to the lives of Christians, Iraqis, and the entire Middle East.
ISIS quickly formed to fill this void, and now we have a worldwide monster, threatening every nation on earth with violent acts of terror.
The murder of the innocent Iraqi’s, the Christians and the thousands fleeing their homes in the Middle East comes directly from President Obama lack of foresight and leadership
