Seventh, it would cost the U.S. the most precious and irreplaceable thing of all, human lives. Approximately 58,000 U.S. soldiers died with Bubba in Vietnam, and about 500,000 soldiers and citizens were killed in Iraq, that’s over 550,000 people dead resulting in no finalized victory for either side. After all of those families affected and even destroyed how can this country just delve into another war without thinking about the human costs? Plus, we already have troops in the Middle East who are working to police several developing communities, and leaving these places would leave them vulnerable to return to their old ways or to be captured. Not only could they return to their own ways, but a war against ISIS could directly include the cost of citizen’s lives as well.
