PO3 Steven Sherrill roger that, I like the numbers my friend:
Turkey’s state-run news outlet, the Anadolu Agency, on Tuesday published detailed information on the location of U.S. bases in northern Syria.
The base locations that were disclosed are on the front lines of the U.S.-led effort to take down the Islamic State stronghold and de facto capital in Raqqa, Syria.
For the safety of U.S. forces overseas, Military Times is not publishing the base locations.
Ten bases, including two with air strips, were identified in a map by Anadolu Agency’s English website. The Turkish version includes some troop counts and a detailed map of the U.S. armed forces' presence, reports Bloomberg.

Thanks for reminding us PO3 Steven Sherrill. Hopefully Turkey will be booted out of NATO soon and treated as the bastard that it is. It straddles Europe and Asia and belongs to neither and its leadership considers itself above international law and only subject to Sharia law.
I would not be surprised if Turkey attacks the western allies in Syria using apparently rogue forces.
Hopefully the POTUS will authorize the Department of State, DoD and CENTCOM to thoroughly investigate how the Anadolu Agency obtained this information and quash the leaks and punish anybody who leaked the information - including barring diplomats if necessary.
