Trump is right to withdraw from Syria – He should replace US troops with private contractors
Anthony Tata

President Trump was right to announce this week that he will withdraw all of the approximately 2,000 U.S. troops now in Syria. But rather than ending our on-the-ground involvement entirely in anti-ISIS operations in that country, the president should replace the U.S. troops with a comparably sized group of private military contractors.

The private contractors would be an economy of force that assists our allies in the region in post- conflict operations, such as providing security for private investment that will allow the region to stabilize.

Further, this force could assuage the fears that the Kurds will be left unprotected and that Iran and Russia will be free to roam the country. Likewise, it could be a pilot project of sorts that allows us to determine the effectiveness of privatizing post-conflict operations.

I have to wonder if this fool is really so out of touch with reality that he thinks civilian contractors can do the same job as the US military,or if he is merely a front man for a company looking to lock in the contracts.

What bugs me, is all these "armchair people", thinking they KNOW what needs to be done. Sick of them.  "He needs to do this, he needs to do that."......  THEY need to run for president then, and do it THEIR WAY. IDIOTS.

Look at who's replacing Mattis: an executive at a defense contractor.

We need a few good Hessians for this kind of work.
