That is a much longer conversation, that really merits it's own thread. It's also not what we are talking about here.
As I said earlier, find me a new article about any soldier redeploying from CENTCOM early as a result of the Syria thing. No one went home.
What this Syria plan did is make US Force's jobs in the ME harder and more dangerous, and walk back a lot of the gains we HAD made in getting out without leaving a burning crater behind us. So no one went home, It's more dangerous on ground where the troops are, we are farther from our stated goals, and it's made it harder for us to actually leave the area on the terms we have said we want.
(1) How is it more dangerous?
(2) Exactly what are our stated goals?
(3) What are the terms we have said we want?
These are honest questions. I honestly have no idea why we are still in Syria at this point, so I'd love to know what we are supposed to be doing there, now that ISIS is no longer a viable threat. (And even that one was without congressional approval, so we were doing that illegally- 2001 AUMF is stretched beyond breaking at this point.)
