Increased military action in Syria

WaPo points out the fact of increased US involvement in Syria, albeit in an advisory capacity (I will ignore the Vietnam references)  as well as the questions about the Commander in Chief and the military becoming props. This is a real concern to me anyway, and I don't have boys in the fight. (Although I have 4 draft age.) I don't know what to think. The whole thing is a hot mess and I want someone to admit it.
