    Post Turkish Report Exposes Locations of U.S. Troops in Syria

    Turkish Report Exposes Locations of U.S. Troops in Syria. Yesterday, Turkish state media outlet Anadolu Agency published details on the location of U.S. special operations forces operating in Syria, complete with maps and troop concentrations, prompting outrage from the Pentagon.Turkey’s state-run news agency published U.S. base locations in northern Syria, a move that threatens to deepen distrust between the two allies by exposing American soldiers on the front lines of the fight against Islamic State.

    I saw that. Turkey was made a NATO ally to serve as cannon fodder. They are not otherwise suitable for NATO.

    Ummm, shouldn't our troops location be known by the gunfire and sucessful missions? Actually the best location for our troops is right here at home.

    Stupid comment.

    If you want to go on record in putting out SoF troops at risk that is on you.

    "Stupid" Humm a little low brow for you isn't it? Also a total misread of my comment. How the hell does my comment support putting our troops at risk? I want them safe at home and for the government to STOP putting them at needless risk! My other point was if they are there and being effective wouldn't the freakin enemy already know where they were by the trail of dead enemy bodies?? Or if they are just sitting around why the $#@! are they there?
