The American and British soldiers killed in Manbij,
Syria were "conducting a mission to kill or capture a known
ISIS member," Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Adrian Rankine-Galloway confirmed.
There are approximately 2,000 U.S. troops across the country and dozens of officials from the
State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) working on the ground to stabilize cities and towns after ISIS's defeat.
President
Donald Trump appeared to signal the withdrawal "very soon" of U.S. troops from Syria, surprising
the Pentagon and State Department.
"By the way, we're knocking the hell out of ISIS," Trump told a crowd in Ohio during a speech on infrastructure spending. "We're coming out of Syria very soon. Let the other people take care of it now, very soon. Very soon, we're coming out."
Opinion: Our adventure in the Middle East has been misguided. We opened the door for all the criminal aspect of the world to gather in this region and so is the chaos surrounded the claim of War.
Those who advised the president to start wars, should be identified and released from duties. A study of our action should be conducted and published. No one can change people opinion by force. We seen it in everywhere.
