Not in the Caribbean where no one shoots back….
But….In Syria….Of the Middle East….
A place where ‘violent conflicts are commonplace and on going…
A place American President’s HAVE NOT wanted to get dragged into….
Where President Trump started the Biden hustle out of Afghanistan…
Does Pete Hegseth want to move thousand’s of US Troop’s BACK into a ISIS conflict?…
President Trump vowed on Saturday to retaliate against the Islamic State after an attack in central Syria killed two U.S. Army soldiers and a civilian U.S. interpreter, the first American casualties in the country since the fall of the dictator Bashar al-Assad last year.
“This was an ISIS attack against the U.S., and Syria, in a very dangerous part of Syria,” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social. “There will be very serious retaliation.”
The soldiers were supporting counterterrorism operations against the Islamic State group in Palmyra, a city in central Syria, when they came under fire from a lone gunman, according to American officials. Syrian security forces subsequently killed the gunman, American and Syrian officials said.
Three American military personnel and two members of Syrian security forces were also wounded in the attack, according to American officials and Syrian state media. In the aftermath, American helicopters were deployed to evacuate the wounded to the al-Tanf U.S. base in southeastern Syria, Syrian state media said.
Though the United States deployment in the Middle East is a fraction of what it once was, the assault was a stark reminder of the danger in the region and the quandary of whether to keep American forces there….
Note…
The US HAS several thousand troops on the ground in Syria trying to keep ISIS from growing again in the region….Trump Admin. HAD signaled a reduction in thier numbers…
There have been other violent contact situations in that country….
