Marines have arrived in Syria to fire artillery in the fight for Raqqa Why can't we just fly some bad-ass explosives in there? Let somebody else "hold the ground".

Syria. What is our end game? Well, we could just blow up both sides.

Once they are there the news usually comes out. Travel to location is usually quiet.

I’m surprised we are allowed IN! Must have something to do with Israel. Our Marines seem to me to be supporting the Kurds?

Syrian Kurdish-led forces capture strategic hill near Raqqa
“The US-backed SDF are now less than 12 miles away from Raqqa, which IS militants consider their capital.
“According to The New York Times citing a US defense official, an estimated 3,000-4,000 militants still remain in Raqqa.”

thanks. Let’s hope they had already established a perimeter and the guns were set up before the news came out.
I keep remembering the Seals getting whacked in Yemen because someone tipped off the bad guys they were coming.
