The U.S. military is hesitant to embrace President Barack Obama's plan to launch a missile strike on Syria, current and former officers revealed in interviews.
Military officers ranging from captains to four-star generals said they are uneasy about a potential Syrian missile strike because it could have unintended consequences, such as turning attention away from their exit from Afghanistan, the Washington Post reported.
"I can't believe the president is even considering it," a young Army officer, who is wrapping up a yearlong tour overseas, told the Post under the condition of anonymity. "We have been fighting the last 10 years a counterinsurgency war. Syria has modern weaponry. We would have to retrain for a conventional war."

WMD fakery again, folks. Don't fall for it again. Obama's paid shills did the deed, and only got 50 or so. The photo Kerry is flashing is from 2003. There's so much B.S. flying around on this, it's looking a lot like Benghazi. Stop the idiocy, folks, WRITE CONGRESSMEN NOW!
Another manufactured crisis to take our attention away from the hand behind Ob's back and the impeachment movement..
He'll hold his breath and stomp his feet until he gets his war.His no boots on the ground will be the equivalent of "Read my lips.No new taxes"
