Trump could be sending 50,000 Troops to Syria

[Benjamin Franklin]

The board's current obsession with DR aside, boots on the ground in Syria is not only a bad idea, but would be a move that doesn't sound like Trump. I'd be surprised.

I hope it's true, but my question is how do you identify the bodies? How do we know they're Isis and not civilians?

They probably don't. Much of the body count in Nam was just bull sh it.

 

This obituary actually relates to body counts. Interesting guy that impacted all our lives and he had the job of making stats on body counts better

It's mostly estimates based on pre-strike recon and intel.

 

Consider: there's a reason they chose this particular target at this particular time.

[Tiberius]

94 is the estimate? Whatever

[Deranged Rhino]

None it is not. Assad is hitting everyone but ISIS

THE LATEST: SYRIAN AIR FORCE CARRIES OUT STRIKES AGAINST IS

An Iraqi military statement says the Syrian air force has carried out a series of airstrikes against Islamic State group militants inside Syria, with one killing the group's leader in Raqqa, the IS de facto capital Saturday's statement doesn't say when the airstrikes happened, but described the targets as "the biggest positions for senior terrorists."

What's the difference between ISIS and civilians?

 

(By the way, they're probably Taliban. Don't think ISIS is in Afghanistan.)

Could have been Taliban watching an ISIS video

From the people I've talked with who are/were serving over there, they have "affiliates" in country there. They're mainly young, poorly trained and under supplied -- essentially they call themselves ISIS more than they are ISIS.

"I am Neegan" sort of thing.

[Deranged Rhino]

"I am Neegan" sort of thing.

Correct. At least from what I've gathered. Until I asked I was under the same assumption as Tom that Isis wasn't in Afghanistan... And they basically aren't but are.

Ground forces hadn't been able to dislodge them from their tunnel/cave complex previously and we lost a green beret there. Body count is up to 94 and I would suspect that anyone near or in the complex was a bad guy.

That gets back to my whole "Saying you're ISIS doesn't make you ISIS thing."

 

But then, nowadays saying you're a woman makes you a woman, even if you're not...so what the !@#$ do I know? Maybe I have an ISISonormative bias and can't accept that they can still be "trans-ISIS." even if they're not "cis-ISIS" or some such bull ****.

I'm not sure if something about this guy's report was already posted. He's from MIT and was in the DOD. It's a good read and actual evidence is offered up, compared to the US who says they have evidence but then never releases it.
