Attacks on US bases ‘not isolated incidents’: Gen. David Perkins
Retired U.S. Army Gen. David Perkins reacts to the 74 attacks on U.S. forces in the Middle East since Oct. 17 on ‘The Story.’

U.S. forces stationed in Syria were attacked Tuesday, Pentagon officials said Thursday, marking the 74th time since Oct. 17 that troops were targeted in the Middle East.

Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh confirmed the attack during Thursday's Department of Defense briefing.

"There was an attack on Tuesday…that brings the total attacks up to 74 attacks from October 17th until now," she said, adding that there were no additional attacks over the last two days.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
