Trump ‘may not have known’ US has 11,000 troops in Qatar when he bashed country on Twitter:...

Sounds like a great opportunity to get out and go home

It's fairly predictable by now that anyone with bone to pick will go after the Commander in Chief regardless what the issue is without even considering he broader picture. Been guilty of jumping the gun a few time myself... nobody is immune.
Considering the issue in a broader sense, I wonder how many Americans outside of military, civilian support contractors, and certain political officials even knew we have a contingent of forces in Qatar prior to this explosion of media coverage assuming that the president doesn't know.
I find it difficult to accept that the Commander in Chief of all U.S. military forces had no idea that we have forces there. He is, after all, the one person in the country who receives daily briefing on just about everything going on, to include military reports.
I remember when the media and others went totally batshit crazy when the previous president announce that he was ordering 500 military personnel to some African countries to assist and advise on some matter and soon he was being accused of try to start WW3 try a media
And public who didn't have even the slightest inkling that thousand of us were there and that we'd had thousands of troops stationed all over the continent for years.... I can even remember one occasion in the 1980's when I met a group of American high school students who were shocked to see us in Germany; even more shocked to find that we'd had forces there since the Second World War.
I have no doubt today that many. If not most, of those bashing the president had ever even heard the name, Al Udeid before the anti-Trump media made it so.... but that's just my opinions n.
