I predicted, and you among others confirmed, that because someone, in this case one of our finest fighting soldiers, has a different opinion based on actually having spent months or years in theatre working with the Kurds while they did the heavy lifting fighting ISIS, that folks here couldn’t politely listen to his opinion and try to understand that point of view.

This is still the place where we can express different opinions, isn’t it?

I wonder if the soldier even knows that at one point in time our United States Air Force was placed into the ridiculous situation of making daily flights from our Air Force Base in Turkey to protect the Kurds in their land battles against opposing forces, yet in the night Turkish planes were flying from the same Air Force Base to bomb the Kurds.   Even after that we stayed there.   President Donald J. Trump is right, we need to get out and go home from this untenable situation.

my only hope is that the turks don’t move in further and release all ISIS because they were allies.
also, I doubt any special forces would go against the CIC.
I know when I was in the military my response to a mike shoved in my face would have been, “you need to talk to someone higher up sorry.”
