Excellent article on Trump vs everyone on Syria/Afghan troop withdrawal. Very refreshing to see clear thinking and great writing bolster what (I hope) most of us think about POTUS. Some highlights:

"Our Syria campaign has been a confused affair from the beginning. Syrians soon found themselves in the midst of a brutal civil war, and in this vacuum—as in Iraq only a decade earlier—jihad tourists from all over the Middle East soon joined the fray."

"Where Obama succeeded only in prolonging the civil war and giving birth to ISIS, Trump narrowed his focus and effectively achieved the goal of defeating ISIS.

Having succeeded in this mission, why should our troops stay?"
