If it is true, who cares? Mattis essentially outed himself as a war-for-life government progressive with his temper tantrum of a resignation letter. There is NOTHING to “win” for us in Syria. Absolutely nothing. Both sides hate us. Let them kill each other. As for Afghanistan? It’s still a feudal mess. There’s nothing that us being there can accomplish that it didn’t already in the 18 (yes, eighteen) years we’ve already been there.
Yep. Anything we might’ve had in Syria was negotiated away by Buttcrack Hussein. 3-4 years ago, the generals running Afghanistan really blew their own horn when stating that we’re almost halfway to our objectives there (whatever those are, nobody has ever told us). Afghanistan is a joke, get us out of there yesterday.
