I was just listening to the radio on the way to my knitting meeting and I must say that Syria is not our fight. If Trump decides to send troops over there, that is one reason I would not vote for him again. I voted for Trump because he said he would not send our troops to fight. America First!

Trump administration stops disclosing troop deployments in Iraq and Syria
Earlier this month, the Pentagon quietly dispatched 400 Marines to northern Syria to operate artillery in support of Syrian militias that are cooperating in the fight against Islamic State, according to U.S. officials. That was the first use of U.S. Marines in that country since its long civil war began.
In Iraq, nearly 300 Army paratroopers were deployed recently to help the Iraqi military in their six-month assault on the city of Mosul, according to U.S. officials.
Neither of those deployments was announced once they had been made, a departure from the practice of the Obama administration, which announced nearly all conventional force deployments.
He's already doing it.
