Ashley Hinson cast six votes to continue the Iran war. Now she's flip-flopping and saying it should end. Iowans have two options: believe Hinson's words, or her record. Veterans have had to make this choice before, and it's why they're backing Josh Turek this November.

We're on day 214 of a war that Trump initially said would take "four to five weeks." So we teamed up with @votevets.org to document every time the president kicked this particular can down the road at AboutTwoWeeks.com.

I'm a retired active duty infantry officer with numerous commands in combat units. We did not tolerate "cowboys." Never. Absolutely no cowboys. Cowboys, & clowns, get their soldier's killed, needlessly. And soldiers saw that. More, bullshit bellicosity was a warning sign of a dangerous leader.

Donald Trump started a war with Iran that he said would end in about two weeks. That was more than 212 days ago. Since then, at least 19 American service members have died, and more than 800 have been injured. Dozens of US aircraft have been damaged or destroyed. See it all at AboutTwoWeeks.com.

this reminds me of similar strategic thinking during the Cold War. then, it was clever to say, Nato only needs one American soldier in Europe. Any attack on Europe would kill that one U.S. troop and automatically draw America into a wider conflict. a tripwire; eg, West Berlin before 1989.
