Our assault ships can get a battalion at a time to the beach in pretty jig time. There are at least nearby. We still have a staging area in Kuwait but it’s a thousand miles up the river to the fight. I wonder if Erdogan is willing to let us use his railroad yet? That would be an overnighter to get a trainload of our guys to where the Kurds could use the help? It would indeed be entertaining to see Odumbo explain to Erdogan that he needs to have a train ready at his dock first thing in the morning.
If we went after ISIS in Syria first, though, it would be a landing on the Med coast near Aleppo, an air drop in the same vicinity to secure the landing, and a forced march on one of the strongholds of ISIS.
“there are at least two nearby.”
