It’s insane that America has boots on the ground in that hell-hole. There are no front lines, multiple nations, terrorist groups, “freedom fighters”, etc.. On what level does the senior command structure in the Pentagon think this is a prudent use of US forces?

“5th Battalion, 5th Air Defense Artillery’s Bravo Battery”

I’m no expert, but after 15 years as a Field Artillery Officer (MLRS, Lance, 155mm), I’m pretty sure that that howitzer doesn’t belong in an ADA battery.

I hope they are practicing “time on target” and fire for effect.

It’s interesting that we aren’t at war against Syria, but we are, and have been funding conscripts (terrorists) to kill Syrians for 6 years now.

We arm and support all combatants on all sides. If they cut human necks, we support them. Been a long time now since we were clearly on the right side of a fight.
