[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3279487, member: 1132"] If we had any loyalty or balls, we’d tell Erdogan that the Kurds are off limits. Tell Turkey that an attack on them is an attack on the United States, then build them their own nation. Lord knows they’ve earned it and we could use a more loyal partner in the region. It’s never set well with me how quickly we tend to abandon brothers in arms, who have fought and died alongside our soldiers and marines. That sets up a discord within our own people. You don’t fight together in combat, then watch your “leaders” declare them no longer necessary without some internal conflict. This was a BAD move by Trump. Someone gave Trump this advice and that’s someone who should be fired. Someday we’re going to go into some bad place with a desperate need for local guides and fighters, and they won’t be there for us. The’ll remember how we’ve abandoned so may before them and they’ll sit it out. That means more of our men and women die in their place. Certainly more than necessary. You shouldn’t be OK with that.
