As if that wasn't enough, he's basically saying "No, I won't drop the price on the drugs that are exclusive to us, but we will setup a patient assistance program (loan program) to purchase said drugs. I really REALLY hope the FDA revokes his patent.

SedanChair posted:If he would actually admit that he is doing something he said he wouldn't do, that would be fine. Welllllll...... Boots on the ground is a very vague wording. Sending Special Operators is not generally considered boots on the ground, because they tend to be sent to places where we won't consider sending normal Army/Marines. Boots on the ground for most people is mainline Army/Marines. You could probably get away with claiming this with him deploying Army advisers in Iraq, however.

Talmonis posted:Aren't special forces raids and air strikes the most effective counter-terror methods to date? Seems like this would be rather relevant to the current strategy. Pretty much, the US Army and Marines are not really equipped nor able to fight a very effective anti-guerrilla campaign, and having a standing army just gives ISIS/AQ targets. Not like we'd want the US Army or Marines tied up in Syria anyways.
