Should NATO recruit/train a Free Syrian Army using the refugees as the base?

NATO sounds like a code word for USA in that scenario.

What is the old saying, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Where are the 90 or so we trained so far to the tune of around a million dollars per unit. Hire some competent mercenaries and save some money.

You must really hate Syrians, MAJ (Join to see).

When it comes to unity of command, NATO at its heart remains a committee, and the best working definition of a committee can be found here (down near the bottom of the list):

It depends on what ideology is most important to the refugees.

I've never experienced airstrikes in my neighborhood. I suppose my ideology at that point would be- don't get blown up.

The last time we stood up an army it was carved up like a Turkey.

The Syrian problem is much more complex than just dealing with ISIS. The US could play right in their hand and attack ISIS at Dabiq. I really believe the majority of their force would be available for that battle. They're going nuts to face the Americans there because it goes along with their theology. The US could stomp out the fighting spirit of ISIS and leave it as a barely operable spider organization. Unless God rained fire upon the infidels, which is what they expect, I've read. Jesus. What a crazy time to be in the armed forces.
