And now we are sending advisers to Syria. Since the death of Master Sgt Joshua Wheeler I think many civilians are questioning the strategy. And I'm sure many of our serving members are not sure what is the best strategy. We can argue the opinion about our troops not being combat troops all day in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. But the question still remains will our current strategy fail and we will see a few more lives lost. I don't know what the right answer is but we need to figure out something soon.

It was the same way in Iraq. We trained the same folks we fought against the next day. They are smart to play nice long enough to get the good training and equipment. TSgt David L.

I like to think I am a pretty astute observer, and I have no idea what we are trying to accomplish there. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Sun, 01 Nov 2015 22:33:07 -0500 2015-11-01T22:33:07-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/will-the-mentality-of-americas-train-and-equip-eventually-be-doomed-to-failure?n=1082394&urlhash=1082394 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>.... just stop training the enemy of our enemy ....
