Residents of northeast Syria city throw potatoes at departing US troops

I don't blame them at all...I would probably react the same way when I saw my overwatch leaving. I am tired of us providing overwatch for people who don't want to take the fight on themselves. It has been said before to let Americans go into the fight...why should we fight and die when they are here. ..why should our own foks get killed. Now that we are leaving they are understanding they have to take the fight on and don't want to do that. We have been there 10 damn years training, supplying, equipping, and providing security and what do they do...nothing. Fight your own damn battles...I am tired of our guys and gals getting slaughtered over other peoples fights that will never end. They can put on their American made clothes and hurl potatoes (which we probably paid for) at vehicles but can't suit and armor up and go fight...HHHHMMMM!

Lucky it was only potatoes

I do! Our forces have protected them for years. It’s not our servicemembers that created this situation. Would you think they should disobey orders? If the Kurds don’t understand that, it’s on them.
