Who knows maybe one of them could be the new Saul of Tarsus:)

That would be great but, for some reason I'm just not holding my breath on that one.

True, only God knows.

Israel is known to have rehabilitated many terrorist, suicide bombers and the such. I'm amazed at how nice to them they are when they're in the Israeli prisons. I guess they win them over with love. Imagine that?

Room and board forever on the taxpayer dime (with Internet access, no doubt.)

I also heard about a million-dollar new soccer field Guantanamo Bay??

Not sure?

What is it something like half of the ones released from Guantanamo Bay have returned to fight again?

And Obama wanted to close that place. Probably best to add on a few room additions.

Trump is responsible for the capturings?

Obama always gave credit to our men and women in uniform for these things, but then Obama had a tougher and smaller ego than our current leader.

President Obama's statement on a successful counterterrorism action:

Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world, the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.

Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides [in fighting against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies].


A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.


Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome. The American people do not see their work, nor know their names. But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.


We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country. And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.


I hope Trump gave our people credit for their work, but I suspect that he didn't. He normally takes credit for the accomplishments of others.

Nope. No thanks to our troops who made it happen. Pretty much what you'd expect from the current president.

Trump compliments and cares more about our troops than Obama ever did.

Actually, the majority of our troops did not care for Obama and today the majority of our troops love Trump.

At every rally Trump has held for the last couple of years he mentions our troops over and over and over again.

Course some have never witnessed a good rally.

This statement is not true. My son's unit highly respected Mr. Obama, but do not hold our current in such high esteem.

No I'm not saying that about your son or his unit that seem to love Obama God bless them but, I see and hear from many in the armed forces active and retired that can't stand Obama.

And more is being revealed every day regarding Obama and his illegal spying tactics and other Dirty Deeds. People love him and that go for it.

He will go down in history as a great tarnish on our country.

Can't people have their likes and dislikes without certain people saying they are not true? You may have your opinion on Barack Obama, but don't go around saying our soldiers are not true fighters because they don't agree with you. There is great controversy in our country because Donald Trump has the nerve to dishonor John McCain who has made great sacrifice for the country all of his adult life. Donal Trump would not even serve in the armed service. He got numerous deferments, but, John McCain served. By the way, Have you ever served in any branch of the armed service?:eek:

Yet you believe some are "true fighters" which indicates that you also believe there are "not true" fighters. Right?

(Barbarian notices that Trump fails to give credit to our troops, while Obama was quick to give them praise for their accomplishments)

Trump compliments and cares more about our troops than Obama ever did.

See above. Obama overtly praised them for their work. Trump, when 5 ISIS commanders were caught, offered no praise for them at all.

Actually, the majority of our troops did not care for Obama and today the majority of our troops love Trump.

Nope. Currently a minority of them support Trump. About 44% overall:

The views shifted depending on which service members were surveyed, though. While 48% of enlisted troops said they approved of Trump, only 30% of officers held a favorable opinion of the commander-in-chief.

Per the poll, 53% of officers said they had unfavorable views of Trump.
...
Men in the military were more likely to support Trump (47%) than women in the military (32%)
Non-white troops were more to view Trump unfavorably (51%) than white troops (37%)
More than 1,100 active-duty troops were surveyed. The poll was conducted prior to the controversy over how Trump has handled phone calls with Gold Star families, including the widow of one of the soldiers who died during the Niger mission this month.
Military Times poll: 44% of troops support President Trump

Compare to the way Americans view him generally:

43.4 percent approval. Not that much difference.

Trump's disparaging comments about the way our troops were cleaning up ISIS before the election angered a lot of them. While the military tends to be more conservative than the average American, they aren't that conservative.
