    Oh, I have no illusions about that. I recall when Barack Obama supposedly ended the Iraq war but just called the 50,000 servicemen he left behind ‘advisers’ instead of ‘soldiers’.

    But comparing small-scale covert action to large-scale military deployment is apples-to-oranges. I also think one of the few good things about Donald is his reticence to resort to large-scale military deployments, and I wish Obama and Biden had been that way too.
