Is it EGO or experience?

Just wondering, air strikes, missile strikes on Syria and ISIS locations. What ego, or mentality does it take to order such a thing? What does one have, to order such a thing, that will result in the taking of many lives?

It is not like deciding to buy a TV or a new washer and dryer, or any of the decisions we make, day to day.

How does one become so convinced that a decision to kill people is the right decision. A General or an Admiral, is trained, educated, experienced, and such a decision is the result of relying on that training and experience. In the case of obama, there seems to be no certainty that he possesses such training, and he obviously does not have the experience or the training. By virtue of a majority of a populace of completely unqualified persons to make such a decision, he becomes a leader. He could be a blithering idiot, but he was "elected" .... so he can make such decisions.

I doubt that he seeks the "input" of others, I doubt that his ego would allow such a thing. It is HIS decision. "Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up."

"Hit this location, that one, and that one, I think I need a five rather than a six iron."
