Any fool can declare invading North Korea or parts of the mid-East is how America will return to being great.  For in most cases the fools making the claims have their own agendas. Some are the high ranking military who can only get promoted by being in combat. Others have incentives to see huge increase in military contracts for arms.  They sell the invasion(s) on how easily the enemy will be defeated and the cost in blood and treasure minimal.  Yet, history has shown it never quick and easy or without the loss of our troops and billions in cost.  

I expect Congress and not the president alone to determine the overall needs to protect the country as necessary and not simply to make points for the next election.  I will not simply forget that during the last administration Congress would not support a presidential request for approval to expand the actions in the M E as being necessary.  What I am hearing now is rhetoric from Congress that does not tell us why the need is different.
