America did not get involved in Syria to be the Kurds bodyguards. Kurds and Turks have been fighting for centuries. Are Americans going to have a permanent military presence in Syria to accomplish this goal of 'protecting the Kurds'? How much will it cost? How long will it last? How many (God forbid) American lives will be given up to accomplish this? The neocon war mongers who criticize Trump's withdrawal never address these questions. The correct answers by them are ... the more the better, the longer the better and don't care.
