I love that man!

Normally, I’d be miffed about stating when we’re withdrawing, but if we’re carpet bombing The Bad Guys as we exit, and our CHILDREN can FINALLY COME HOME, I can live with that. ;)

I was mobilized for Operation Desert Shield/Storm in 1991. We have p*ssed around over there for TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS. Enough!

Couldn't we first carpet bomb the hell off them - check to see they dead then leave?

Starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining ISIS territorial caliphate hard , and from many directions. Will attack again from existing nearby base if it reforms. Will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds. Create 20 mile safe zone.

I'm not following the logic here - we are pulling out but still have a base, ISIS still controls territory from what I've been able to gather they have 35,000 fighters which seems significant. Currently we are kicking their ass but now we are going to leave. Isn't this almost exactly what we did in 2011? I'm for disengaging from all these wars and I do like the presidents philosophy but damn it seems like we are already there - finish the job and eliminate ISIS.

This is a withdrawal of 2000 troops from what I'm led to understand this is a pretty small foot-print that is yielding great results against a genuine enemy of the USA, ISIS. Maybe the 2000 there will be happy about coming home and returning to their families but I'm guessing they probably will be frustrated with being called off when close to inducing total capitulation - this is an all volunteer military - everybody in the militarily these days knows the score and what they are getting into.

I get a sense from the explanation of our strategy in these tweets even the president is trying to thread together the logic of this pullout.

This just seems like giving ISIS time to reform which would be a mistake. I'll give president Trump the benefit of the doubt as he has definitely earned it but I'm not seeing this turning out well
