Noooo, you just let em fight in perpetuity. As no long as neither side is winning, they’ll just keep killing each other. Spending money and resources locally and not abroad.

Depends on what this means. If it’s green suit boots on ground, I don’t care if we pull back. We don’t need to be there to do what I’m advocating for.

Huh.
"A particular point of disagreement was what to do about mischief Iran is exporting to other countries. Mattis is indeed more hawkish on this than the White House was,"

I’m pretty sure that’s not what he said. Regardless, we had 8 years of the Clintons actions with the military to know for certain how they’d behave. Zero chance it would have been good.
Again, it's all a moot point. Trump won and is making our nat sec/fopo decisions now. And he's doing EXACTLY what he said he'd do.
I love how Trumpers constantly point out how EXACTLY like Obama Trump is.
That wasn't about Obama. It was about Mattis.
And yet you chose to quote a passage about Mattis being too hawkish for the Obama WH, while he's being too hawkish for the Trump WH. lol. Keep up the good work.
Trump is even less hawkish than Obama, so of course there would be similarities in the relationship with Mattis. My concern is if we need to be there or not, and joint chiefs or not, they're going to have biases. I'm going to guess, for now, that Dog is accurate, and that we are still going to have a presence there, just not officially/uniformed. I'm good with that, with other allies officially there, and our planes able to take out whatever we want. Or Israel.
I don’t know that to be the case. That’s just what I’m advocating for. If it’s a “out of sight out of kind” play, it’s stupid. Anything happening in Syria though can be dealt with from our Operational positions in Iraq.
Those poor Kurds are going to get massacred.
