Whose troops?

If American troops are training the Free Syrian Army then I do not support those troops in that mission. Any Christian who is assigned such duty should refuse the order. They are setting themselves up to be put on trial as war criminals.

I have had friends in Jordan for about a year from a very high profile American Army division.

I posted a thread about it during the Assad/Obama confrontation

One of the speakers at the republican club dinner last year was a Iraqi Kurdish Colonel who had attended the US War College with a Colonel who was friends of one of the local members. His English wasn’t great, but his presentation was moving and an appeal for a US presence in Kurdistani Iraq.

Was he telling the truth? Was he just saying what he knew we wanted to hear? Who knows?

That would be the problem for our troops in Jordan. They might honestly think they were training Jordanians, but how would they know?
