Cop Watch Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The purposes of having U.S. forces in Syria include preventing ISIS from reestablishing domination over territory; protecting our Kurdish allies, who fought alongside our forces against ISIS, from being massacred by Turkish forces; and blocking Iranian ambitions. They do not include guaranteeing that ISIS never succeeds in a suicide bombing. What I found noteworthy in the Post’s article is this tidbit: “The four deaths doubled the total number of U.S. personnel killed by hostile fire in Syria since the deployment there began just over three years ago.” In other words, our military engagement in Syria has led to only eight American deaths in three years, and four of them occurred after Trump announced we are leaving. The engagement is costing money, of course, but the case for withdrawal cannot plausibly rest on loss of American lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
