US and allied forces in eastern Syria need to complete training between 35,000 to 40,000 local troops to establish stability in eastern Syria following the defeat and expulsion of the Daesh terror group in those areas, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Joseph Dunford said.
“We estimate about 35,000 to 40,000 local forces have to be trained and equipped in order to provide stability,” Dunford said at a Washington Post event on Thursday. “We are probably somewhere along the line of 20 percent through the training of those forces.”
Dunford explained that the stabilization process would need to continue for an indefinite period of time in eastern Syria.
“With regard to stabilization we still have a long way to go. We can say our presence in Syria right now is sustainable and can be adjusted based on conditions,” he said.

In other words, the US is training a new coalition of terrorists to try to remove Assad from power.

Our ‘Khaki Heroes’ must be sooooo proud, ‘aiding and abetting’.
I still can’t believe the young people are still stupid enough to join the corporate military, all so they can get free education (that is, if our government in occupation even offers that anymore). Hell, our degrees and college education ain’t even worth the paper its printed on anymore, so what’s the point?
Young and naive…….that’s all they are.
It was all over the news back around September 16 2015 General Lloyd J. Austin – Head of Central Command –
admitted the United States had spent
$ 500 million on training ” 4 or 5 Syrian soldiers”
