Pentagon Sending Troops to Syria

http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/15/politics/pentagon-considering-recommending-combat-troops-in-syria/index.html

The Pentagon is deciding whether or not they are going to send ground troops to Syria to combat ISIS by the end of the month. Trump is trying to move in on his plan to defeat ISIS as soon as possible. Obama wanted to minimize the amount of troops going over because there were inherent risks involved with the act. When Obama established limits on the troops, it resulted in the troops being largely deployed.  Trump wants to send all the troops he can so they can defeat ISIS. I think that what Trump wants to do is right because it will not have a lot of troops waiting around to go to service. In America we want the employment rates to go up because they are good for the economy.

This relates to the content in our class because it is talking about the establishment of two different thoughts or ideas from presidents of different parties. One believes that sending in troops and starting something is not a good idea and we should limit troops whereas the other thinks we should fight back and take action and not have deployed troops. This is what we have been discussing because we have been talking about political parties.
