No link is out there right now as to troop numbers and that is intentional..

That I can see there are two of us on this board who have spent time in that neighborhood. These troops are advisers and coordinators. They call in air strikes, light targets up with lazes, and do Intel assessments for our team.

I have not been there in a long time but from what I can see nothing much has changed.I like the Kurds and don’t have much use for the Turks but this is simply not a conflict we can not win unless we are willing to go to war in a significant way. This situation goes back a hundred years and the people there don’t forget or get over things. When there is not a war on where the Turks and Kurds have a common enemy, the Kurds have been knows to crank up some terrorist attacks inside of Turkey. I said I liked the Kurds I did not say their hands were clean either.

I agree with what Trump did but I do not agree with him doing it the way he did. It should have been done quietly.

The one thing I’m drawing a blank on right now is how far back he has pulled our resources.
