Can someone explain to me the story surrounding the issue of pulling our troops out of the mideast? Why are people like Liz Cheney, General Mattis and others so upset at Trump’s decision to pull our troops out?
I know about Bush’s idea about trying to “democratize” these countries and I know that doesn’t work, but what is the rest of the story?

A Cynic would say that if we pulled out, it would affect the bottom lines of numerous contractors and military suppliers who have financial interest in seeing the troops remain.
Could Mattis and Cheney have any financial interest in it? I am not accusing them of anything, but it bears looking into. The Military Industrial Complex has a huge lobby on Capitol Hill.
And lest we forget, Ike warned us about the military-industrial complex.
what is the rest of the story?
