Abandoning Our Allies

Today, Veteran's Day, is the only other holiday besides Christmas and New Year's that we celebrate on the day, no matter where it falls within the week.
Here we are, at a point where no matter what the president does, Republicans eventually come around to support him.  It is alarming and disgusting.
Today, on the 101 anniversary of the end of WWI and the day that all veterans of all wars are honored, I reflect on what we have done to soldiers who wear the uniform by abandoning our allies in Syria to be slaughtered.  We are no longer a nation who's word can be relied upon.  We are fair weather friends, who will sell out an ally without even a hint of remorse.  No looking back to consider the damage we have wraught.
This reputation puts our men and women in uniform who are abroad at greater risk.  We don't have Europe's back and likewise they do not have ours.  Our reputation aborad has been melded with that of the commander in chief, and it is a disservice to all those who serve their country.
