Bingo! Someone write up the rational for us being in Syria. There isn’t one.
It is of no strategic value, we have no economic interest there and if Israel had a problem, we would feed them ammo and let them handle it.

Russia has a strategic interest in Syria as it allows them to use one of their ports for fleet operations.
Let them clean up the mess.
