It is interesting that the USA is openly talking about fighting ground warfare in Syria since Raqqa is clearly in Syria SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. Certainly fighting in the city of Raqqa will be much more demanding because Raqqa is an ISIL stronghold in an area with much more sympathy for as well as fear from ISIS than anywhere in Iraq.
It seems like an understatement and oversimplification to state that "coalition partners in Syria are relying on a hodge-podge of local Arab and Kurdish opposition groups, some of whom are fierce rivals."
