    Just what it says. If it should come to pass, are you willing to have 45 as a war winner, knowing that will likely give him a second term and even more support for his measures?

    You may not change your vote. Your vote will not be publicly visible. You may not see the results without voting. You have seven days, ladies and gentlemen.

    I probably won't be replying to anything in this thread, so PM me if you want to make it about me. Thanks.

    It's a false choice.

    And there are more questions that should be answered before we get there.

    Such as: "What are you willing to do to prevent Trump from starting an unnecessary war in the Middle East?"

    It does not matter, Trump would just tweet we are winning and the Trumpist will rejoice.

    That’s the big question here. Have we won in Iraq after 15 years?

    More money has been spent in liberating & rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan in the last 15 years than the federal government has spent on public infrastructure in the in the US in the last 50

    1) I will not permit any of my children to be sacrificed on the altar of a Trumpian campaign to ensnare this country in yet another stupid pointless war to deflect from his domestic crimes

    2) Given my present condition, I have nothing to lose and will take as many Trump fans and/or federal / state / local officials with me as needed

    We're talking several trillion dollars over 15 years versus probably less than a trillion since the 60's

    The last time the US "won" a war, it was 1945/46.

    To reset my own take from a few years ago to the GSA investigator, there are schools in Afghanistan we've built and re-built a dozen times, at a cost to the US taxpayer of $2,500.00 per square foot and we have Rez schools that would be condemned if white kids had to attend them. So what do the Cherokee have to do to get a new school, fly a plane into a building?

    Why are we at war, against whom, who started it, and what would be the consequences of losing it?

    Come on mothers throughout the land
    Pack your boys off to Vietnam
    Come on fathers, and don't hesitate
    To send your sons off before it's too late
    And you can be the first ones in your block
    To have your boy come home in a box

    And it's one, two, three
    What are we fighting for?
    Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
    Next stop is Vietnam
    And it's five, six, seven
    Open up the pearly gates
    Well there ain't no time to wonder why
    Whoopee! we're all gonna die

    Even if we assume the same 100 billion for 15 years (and I assume it was less than 100B in 2001 and it has grown since then) then the total would be 1.5 Trillion.

    1.6T > 1.5T

    So you sir are correct.

    Edit, ok I just looked at the last part of your statement, and the last 50 years, may not be true, but that number may be hard to get, so I will give you a pass.
