The Pros And Cons Of Sending Ground Troops To Fight Isis

Isis has 30,000 fighters( “Isis trail of terror”). February 2015, Isis had 20,00 more foreign fighters who had come to help( “Isis trail of terror”). Not including 150 from the United State. Isis is spreading into Syria, Iraq, and towards Baghdad tormenting the sick, and killing people till they decide to join their side ( “Isis trail of terror”).Obama said, “ Let's be clear about Isis, they have rampaged across cities beheading people in cowardly acts of violence.”( “Isis trail of terror”). Isis is growing bigger and bigger each second, and only we can stop it.

President Obama stated in his Anti-Terror Strategy address, "We continue to face a terrorist threat. We cannot erase every trace of evil from the world, and small groups of killers have the capacity to do great harm. That was the case before 9/11, and that remains true today” (Obama).The Middle East today is composed of very complicated religious tensions, unstable states, and rising terrorist organizations. The collapse of central governments and the rise of powerful non-state actors breed problems that foreign powers and the world’s only superpower, simply should begin to address. Many argue that the involvement in the Middle East is not our problem and that it will only cause our national debt to increase. As human beings we must began to realize the crimes against humanity occurring in the region and ask ourselves one question, can we truly turn a blind eye to the hundreds of innocent people dying and at what cost? The United States of America must get involved in the Middle East to ensure justice is achieved and maintained. Our interference will decrease the chances of terrorist attacking U.S. soil, and our military involvement will save the lives of many innocent citizens caught up in the turmoil. The United States must protect its interests and allies in the region. America stands for freedom, justice, and dignity; we must take a stand to defend ourselves and those in need, if we truly want to uphold the

"We're looking for opportunities to do more, and there will be boots on the ground, and I want to be clear about that", Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said about defeating ISIS, or the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Because my partners and I agree with Secretary of Defense Carter, we stand in support of the resolution, Resolved: The US should declare war on ISIS.

As of today, 6,845 Americans have died in Iraq and Afghanistan and over 900,000 Americans have been injured in both wars. (Goodman 1) Sending those troops over to these places to fight will just cause more damage. How much more lost lives does it take for the government to realize that the places they are sending these troops over to is not getting anywhere. The U.S just keeps going up a hill that never ends, instead of going up they are rolling down it. Digging a bigger hole for the U.S to get buried in. The great leaders in American history learned from the mistakes of the past. It is something we ought to remember when it comes to sending ground troops to remove the Islamic State group. Although ISIS needs to be defeated, the President should

Operation Iraqi Freedom saw a new rise in media censorship for embedded journalists, before departing their country of origin and being embedded with a military unit journalists were required to undergo joint training and sign contracts vowing not to report information that could compromise unit position, future missions, classified weapons, and information they might find during their time in the field. When asked about the purpose of the embedded journalists and these new restrictions Lt. Col. Rick Long of the U.S. Marine Corps replied "Our job is to win the war. Part of that is information warfare. So we are going to attempt to dominate the information environment.” Journalism from the front was no longer being used as a method of information broadcasting for concerned families and civilians at home, but to ensure proper reception of the war and shape public opinion not only in the United States, but the world as a whole.

According to the conditions made by Aquinas the United States are justified in waging war on ISIS. Under the first condition, authority must wage war. Therefore,The United States President has the authority to wage war. A just reason is needed to wage war. ISIS has illegally obtained lethal weaponry. “ They also have captured…trucks manufactured for the United States Military.” (What is Islamic State?) Another reason the U.S is justified is that ISIS is gaining support

Likewise, there are several instances in which the Unites States has stepped in to alleviate foreign crises. Mullaney expresses that in 2014, air strikes were launched to help the Yazidi people, and other countries have agreed to help with combat, but they are waiting on America to make the move towards war; while President Obama has been submitting requests to send out troops, nothing has been approved yet (125, 128). The United States needs to have approval to launch troops to help the Yazidi people. Mullaney is insistent that the U.S. must provide more than just air strikes in order to help the Yazidis. While some feel that it is not the United States’ responsibility, ISIS cannot be stopped alone. On the contrary, the author includes

53%of Americans say the U.S should send ground troops to Iraq or Syria to fight against ISIS, poll taken by CNN politics. Although the U.S shouldn’t be fighting against a religious ISIS is also a terrorist group. 60% of Americans disapprove of President Obama’s handling of terrorism poll taken by CNN politics. This Country needs to put ground troops in Syria to denaturalize the threat that is ISIS.

Everyday innocent people are dying for no reason. A rising terrorist group called Isis is responsible for this and they need to be stopped.A group called Isis has been active since 1999 but most recently has seen a huge growth. So far little has been to stop them and it is time to do more about it. I’m not talking about more air strikes it is time to step up our game and send ground troops to defeat these monster once and for all. Isis is responsible for many death and many horrific terrorist attacks. According to a CNN poll 68% say America's military response to the terrorist group thus far has not been aggressive enough. In this paper we will look at that America thinks it time to send ground troops, how people don't think Obama doing enough, and finally all the harm Isis is doing.The U.S need to send ground troops to fight Isis.

In recent months, the United States accompanied with several allies have been forging a fight against ISIS in Iraqi and Syria. The allied troops have been extremely successful in wreaking havoc against the enemy–killing ISIS fighters, reducing ISIS cash flow, and causing the group to abandon a large portion of their controlled areas. There are approximately 5,000 American troops at any given time in these territories and President Obama wants and intends to deploy more. The United States should not send more troops to fight against ISIS because, we were just involved in the Iraqi War, home soil will be left vulnerable, and intervening doesn't always lead to benefit.

The attacks on 9/11 gave way to a Congress military intervention in the Middle West backed by the Americans. Military actions are extremely costly on the taxpayers pocket, but after an even in American soil that left more Americans dead than Pearl Harbor, many Americans were anxious to make someone pay. For the first time though the enemy wasn’t a country or totalitarian government, it was a radical group who’s military tactics were based on terrorism and insurgency. Al-Qaeda, under the tutelage of Osama Bin Laden, had declared war on United States after the army stationed in Saudi Arabia. Just like in Vietnam, a different terrain and unidentified enemy made it very difficult for the American troops to identify their enemy and remove them. America’s military superiority disseminated Al-Qaeda, the remaining members with Bin Laden escaped from Afghanistan to Pakistan. At the same time, it became known of Iraq’s possession of weapons of mass destruction, giving birth to “Operation Iraqi Freedom”. More than 1.5 million troops have been

Moreover, the State Department has been using Secretary of State John Kerry’s hint that the administration might be open to negotiating with the Iranian aligned Syrian dictator, Bashar al-Assad (Patten). Even though the U.S. is capable of destroying ISIS and rolling back the Tehran regime at the same time, Washington needs to prepare a plan to sanction the foreign policies with a convergent approach to defeating ISIS but not through fighting a war. ISIS is a dangerous pro-state that engages in enslaving and forcing people to take them under their control. They seem powerful at the point, whereas U.S. administration should be ready and build an effective global wide political organization to help clarify the situation on the ground. The U.S. Air force is more advanced and capable of gaining an early winning through an advance attack, if needed.

For the past few years, the terrorist group ISIS has made headlines around the world with their acts of terror and rapid spread. Naturally, people all over the Earth have called for the obliteration of ISIS, and many have looked to the US for action. The question that prevails the most: should the US put soldiers in Syria to try and directly destroy this radical terrorist group? The safest, most reliable answer is an emphatic no, the US should not put "boots on the ground" against ISIS.

ISIS has proven many times that they are capable of killing mass groups of people, they have proven to use chemical weapons, and they have proven that they have money. Many people believe that the islamic state is the correct way of living. If America does not intervene with ISIS it will not be long before there is an attack on american soil. America needs to eliminate each ISIS member and give the oil land back to whom it belongs to. ISIS is inhumane and does not care what or who is in their path, they will kill unmercifully and torture anyone and

Introduction: I think that everyone here can pretty much agree that the United States is known as the leader of the world. This title comes with responsibility, and one of those responsibilities is defending nations that cannot defend themselves. This is exactly what we are doing by attacking ISIS, and it is the right thing to do. This topic is incredibly relevant, as our airstrikes began a little more than a month ago and they are planned to continue for the next three years. After a great amount of research and studying, I can confidently say that America needs to continue the airstrikes in Syria in an effort to eradicate ISIS. I will convince you that these airstrikes need to continue
