The worse part in all this is Trump was a draft dodger when he needed to have skin in the game.
Skin in the game doesn't matter. Any effective leader should have no trouble ordering people to fight and die, regardless of relationship.
Plus, the mortality rate in our military these days is pretty low, even combat troops are statistically safer than pizza delivery drivers.
You all have no idea of the day to day of people there. And do not understand the idiosyncrasy of their culture.

Dafuq.. Pizza delivery drivers huh? Care to have me escort you through the local VA hospital and show you some of the carnage suffered in war? You need to learn some respect for military personnel. A good leader should consider all options before sending troops onto a battlefield. Wars would unfold differently if those issuing the orders weren't sitting in offices and were fighting alongside the troops.
Trump says he’s considering military response to Venezuela

The generals already visit the field when necessary and that's good enough for me.

Ah i love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. I guess nobody has any idea what's going on in Venezuela right now but hey blaming Trump is far easier then just doing a quick research of their dire situation. Maduro disarmed the civilan population and is killing them left and right but who cares about that no bashing Trump that's the real important issue here.
Civilian death toll rises to a 100
You people are pathetic.

The Venezuela crisis could turn into a refugee crisis, as people are leaving that country in masses. So maybe intervening sooner than later will prevent many other problems.
To the people just saying it's none of our business, think about this, if your neighbors house is on fire would you sit there just watching it burn? Or would you call 911 before your house catches fire as well?
