Please see the remarks of Lieutenant General Keane, retired former vice Chief of Staff, who observes that with 1000 troops we leveraged 60,000 troops to fight against ISIS, and won. In the course of that struggle, in which we and our European allies, 2000 and all, operated as advisors the Kurds lost 10,000 dead and 20,000 wounded.

By maintaining only 1000 troops in advisory positions, we leveraged 60,000 Syrian troops who suppressed ISIS. General Keane thinks that is a very cheap price to pay for a very positive result.

General Keane notes that the president should have insisted the ongoing diplomatic process which the Turkish leader sought to displace with violence should continue.
