Say what?

Following President Donald Trump's decision to launch targeted U.S. airstrikes in Syria late Thursday evening, CNN military analyst and retired U.S. Army Major General James "Spider" Marks compared the military maneuver to the University of Kentucky basketball team's penchant for players who leave early for the NBA draft.

"...but my point is, this is not Kentucky basketball, one and done," Marks said. "This is the start of a series of operations."

Kentucky's basketball program has been compared to a lot of things, but it's probably safe to say this was a first.
