This week, the Obama Administration has announced we're going to play a more direct role in Syria. And they don't put higher ranking people on the front, save the commander and NCOIC of the unit.
(CBRN) Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear

Direct role means "combat troops on the ground."

I think that just means we are going to start Droning Syria like Iraq. And maybe start Droning Assad.

Obama isn't going to send Troops. He has over and over said that a war with the west is what ISIS wants, and that he is all about creating an Arab coalition to fight ISIS.

And going into the Military knowing your rights is like going to jail knowing your rights.
And there is a slight possibility that the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act could be applied to the Military.

I'm not sure if anyone has tried. But it expands Religious Rights further than current 1st Amendment Case Law.

No, that would be indirect. It was stated, boots on the ground.

When? I watch the news all the time, and right now there are like 50 Diplomats asking that Obama please start droning Assad more, but there has been no mention of him even wanting to do that, let alone boots on the ground. And boots on the ground would be big news, like when some Americans saw that the Kurds seemed outgunned in a raid, they ran in to help and I think a Lieutenant from Oklahoma was killed, and it was a big deal about "Is this train and assist, or is this too much?".

Droning is a form of indirect involvement. Look for it, you'll find it. They are planning direct involvement shortly.

Apparently, we're also going back to Afghanistan.

If it happens it happens. But that is completely against Obama's Middle Eastern Policy for all of his Presidency. Which is to work to end the war, not send more troops out there, and to try to rebuild. And even if it was War, from what I have read Mosul itself would be a 6 Month+ operation, and that would basically relegitimize the Iraqi Government to an extent, as long as they didn't fall back in to Sunni/Shia stuff in Government. But after that there is still all of Syria, and Syria isn't even really being focused on right now.
Because ISIS started as (AQI) Al Qeada in Iraq, they are trying to work on Iraq first. The American people said they didn't want to get involved in Syria, so they stayed out of Syria, and now they are trying to get a Cease Fire in Syria, not start firing more.
I'll look, but I really don't think that Obama would just flip like that, when there is no way he could get it done in the time he has anyway. It would be a complete reversal of his positions that he has held on strong to for his entire presidency, and without the bonus of getting to say you won a war before you left office as a historical point.

There are also people in Afghanistan, but there aren't many people there either. There are probably more people in Japan than Afghanistan or Iraq.

u r nuts
but you're a good guy, no harm to no one hopefully ?
I'll get copies of everything either sent to me or made, and I am pretty sure there will be tons of people that want to know their rights. It's like jail, everyone there is like "No, I'll just do my time" until you start teaching them their rights and case law and everything, then they get excited about trials, etc.

And when I was in jail I would go to that Kiosk thing, and use like 30 people's accounts. And the people in charge start to notice, because it creates a Power Structure, and then they realize that they are causing the problem because they are not giving people the rights they are owed and they are creating this Power Structure indirectly by not respecting rights automatically, and then they start trying to figure out how the rights work.
