As a soldier, I know that the most basic requirement before taking military action is that you must have a clear, achievable objective, & a strategy to achieve it. You must analyze the situation, know what the risks are, & what the cost, consequences of your actions will be
Our actions in Syria must be based on strategy, which is based on what our mission actually is. What are we trying to achieve? The neocons/neolibs calling on Trump to attack Syria either don't know what the mission is or are pursuing a mission that is contrary to U.S. interests.
Actions that weaken/cripple the Syrian military result in greater instability, more suffering of Syrian ppl, & strengthen terrorist groups like al-Qaeda, ISIS, Army of Islam, etc. who are trying to topple the gvmnt. Is that our mission? Does this help Syrian or American ppl?
The weaker the Syrian government and military are, the more dependent they will be on assistance from Russia and Iran, strengthening their positions and power in Syria. Is that our mission? Does that serve the interests of the American people?
U.S. military action in Syria could escalate into a war with Russia and Iran. Russia has already stated they will respond to any U.S. military attack against Syria. Is this our mission? How does going to war with Russia over Syria serve the interests of the American people?
Our troops put their lives on the line for our country. Their sacrifice must be honored by sending them on missions worthy of their sacrifice; not interventionist regime change wars that cost our country lives & resources, & increase the suffering of those in countries we attack
Who are the "neolibs" calling for bombing Syria? Can someone point me in that direction?

Ask Israel, they seem to be in charge of the "why".
Oil? Golan Heights? Hanging out with Israel, Halliburton, etc., stealing resources? Fattening up the MIC? #NeverEndingWar? #$
