Nobody seems to remember that part in the SFQC when you are taught that one of the things that MUST BE DONE is to demobilize your force when the USA is done fighting.
...not when the partner forces are done fighting - when "WE" are done fighting.

Well.... "We" are done fighting.

The love affair with the Kurds is the same type of relationship that gets undercover narcotics agents murdered and buried at sea.
Never fall in love with your surrogates...



This is what happens when you have 20 years worth of senior leaders that have forgetten where they came from at the expense of becoming fascinated with direct action.

Exactly.

We helped them when it helped us. Now it no longer helps us and they are on their own.

Hopefully they "free" the ISIS prisoners in place. If not, i'm sure the Turks will figure out what to do with them. Either way it sounds like a win to me.
