And there were no more American assets to help? Once again depending on the French led to death and defeat. When will we learn??? If the local troops fled, its time for us to flee that country and let them rot.
I think that's a little harsh.
The French ran (flew) towards the sound of gunfire.
If the US and French are not there, it will become another ISIS stronghold.
Training “local forces,” however, is a joke. Just drop Hellfires on every jihad camp and village.
Obama kept saying he wanted to use more special forces but this loss does show something is amok with that recommendation. Did they also have their training cut in half like the other branches?
Agree! We should not attempt to defend those who will not defend themselves.
