5000 Syrian rebels will be fighting what the cia says is a 35,000 man ISIS army. I assume the ISIS generals know about deployment of forces, units held in reserve, etc.
5000 American troops with air support would wipe out the ISIS Army in a straight up battle, but these rebels will never get close air support from Obama.
I hear Obama is approving/disapproving every single air mission from his white house. He’s a military genius too...who’d a thunk it.

Hitler also tried to run the German Army in WW2.
