As much as I want to see ISIS defeated . . . I really hate seeing this happen. I don't know if it's because I'm out, and feel an obligation to be there, or if it's due to fear of a prolonged war.

One thought not exactly looked at.... is that really the force structure and capability needed to support the Iraqi Army? If your not doing the fighting directly - then the real area of assistance is in enabling force areas and support functions. That said - you could need combat forces there for another reason - and that is to protect our forces after Mosul falls.... from those guys who are currently fighting to the west of the force wee are advising..... IS is a tough enemy and well lead, but they will be eventually defeated in Mosul, it is what happens after that that really is the issue.

The Iraqi government announced Saturday that it would temporarily halt the battle to re-take Mosul from Islamic State jihadists after reports emerged of heavy civilian casualties, a security forces spokesman said.

It appears whatever the agenda is, American tax dollars has been fully committed.
Trump placed a good man in charge of American assets. I just fear the agenda is a global agenda. Not an American one.
