Senator, please tell me when the President has denied that troops are in combat? "They're not going to be leading the fight on the ground, but they will be essential in providing the training and assisting local forces as they continue to drive ISIL back," is the quote from the President concerning the use of ground troops in Syria. 
Senator, you "diminish the service and sacrifice of our troops" by wasting the state's and the country's time and money composing useless anti-Obama manifestos when there are issues you could be tackling this moment to improve the lives of Alaskans and Americans, and upholding the freedom those troops fought for.
