That's a reasonable argument. Could probably sit there as a buffer force for 10 more years and the Turks would still enter Syria and roll the Kurds after we left. And ISIS/Al-Qaeda would probably still be around.

I'm sorry it appears you're not willing to fight for what you believe in? typical message board warrior talking trash he has no balls for.
But ISIS is essentially defeated. No headquarters, no large assembly anywhere. They have operatives in the shadows in many countries though but how will 2000 troops sitting in Syria change that? Assad has won the civil war with Russian backing. We went in to go after ISIS, not to take Assad down.
Your God General Bone Spurs wasn't going to . So why should I? The only difference between me and your God was that there was no deferment or a friendly doctor waiting to cover my back side. I registered and waited for their decision. Which by the way I and the others have been waiting for quite some time for you to tell us your heroic war stories.

you're not going to fight for Syria after expressing outrage that we are leaving? So you were just blowing hot air?
Military Times: US troops are leaving, but ISIS is not defeated in Syria
The US forces stabilize 1/3 of Syria while they work with allies to finish them off?

so you want more US troops to die there?
So pro-war advocates admit that 1% of ISIS fighters remain in isolated villages after we clean out their last stronghold. Why are we arguing again?
"U.S. military officials say a couple thousand ISIS fighters are still operating in the region."
It also said 1% remain in isolated villages. Sounds defeated to me. Ultimately it's up to the commander-in-chief. Compare this with the power vacuum left in Iraq when we withdrew, creating ISIS to begin with. No power vacuum in Syria.
US military leaders don't agree with you. But they're not speaking politically.
Spoken anonymously. We don't even know who said what or if even said.
Mmmm hmmm. The Military Times made up fake quotes from military leaders. Fake newwwwws.
They didn't quote anyone, that's the point. And they're a private paper.
I just love making you angry by exposing your God for what he is .A bombastic narcissistic demogogue who ran on slogans and outrageous claims while failing to realize that he was going to be expected to make good on them by turning those slogans into realistic and effective policy .
In the meantime we're still waiting for you to tell us about your glorious military service.
Sightline Media group, who is the publisher, has been publishing military news and newspapers since 1940. I think they're probably legit when it comes to sourcing.
Anonymously speaking out doesn't tell us anything.
