Details besides your twitter picture?

and yes, I know we have parts of a BCT and more in Syria. If you're keeping score, this is the third oval office occupant we've had them there for. Nothing new.

Exactly. This deployment has been there for a DECADE. Pulling it now, weeks after the earthquake, would be profligate.

It’s never been a “good idea” and it shouldn’t have been going on through three Administrations, but today would be exceptionally bad timing to rectify the mistake.

One thing the Service does really well is support Humanitarian missions. Syria is a mess and is literally and figuratively unstable: it’d be a bad look for the US to leave right now.

This is a joke, right? We have maintained the sanctions which hinder aid to people afflicted by the earthquakes. We just marched in, we can just march home. This guy probably thinks we needed to stay another 10 years in afghanistan

Thanks for pointing yourself out as someone who doesn’t read and then creates straw men to argue with. Bye.
