Syria ~ 'Total Chaos'

[Mister D]

While it's true that US forces will purposefully destroy equipment and fortifications when in retreat or other when it's the only tactical choice. However, I haven't heard of them doing it during a voluntary and planned withdrawal.

It seems like the withdrawal was either poorly planned and executed, or the consequences of the withdrawal weren't fully understood.

Hmmm...gonna have to really consider this. Do I believe the guy with military and combat experience or the guy who hangs out at gay bars in Toronto? Tough. lol

Of course even I, who has never heard a shot fired in anger, knows that denying assets to the enemy is simply standard practice.

The personnel that we are talking about are SF. They would have procedures to purge all sensitive and classified stuff. As I posted elsewhere, the danger is that the Russians and Syrians will learn SF tactics and procedures from the people that the SF trained.

We all know that $#@!stain obama is the founder of Isis in Syria. He certainly armed them when he was calling them Syrian rebels. Putin tried to warn the $#@!stain president that he was on the wrong side.

Lol...is it impossible for you to not be a dick? Are you that insecure?

Care to actually respond to what I wrote?

I understand that, but this wasn't a hasty retreat. It was a purposeful withdrawal with no imminent threat.

It just seems to me that there were mistakes made if they had to destroy their own assets.

We don't have anything to gain out of being in Syria. If you want us in there, you are the one who supports chaos.

Cause we certainly didn't do it while withdrawing from the long planed Dec 2011 withdrawal from Iraq, huh?

Wow.

I don't know what they had on site. It is possible that they had equipment that was easier to destroy than move.

You claim "chaos" and the $#@! when none is found and our guys get out of there safe and sound. You Progs are an insane bunch for sure.
