Letter to the Editor: Bring Our Troops Home From Syria

Posted

When will we bring our U.S. military men and women home from Syria?

We jumped into Syria in October 2015 when we sent the first coalition of troops to Syria to fight against ISIS. It’s been nearly eight years, and our brave American men and women are still stationed in Syria.

In March 2023, Congressman Matt Gaetz, R-Florida, introduced a war powers resolution to remove our military forces from Syria. It failed to garner enough votes to pass in the House.

The new congresswoman for the 3rd Congressional District, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, swiftly voted against removing our U.S. troops from Syria, along with nearly every Democrat in the House. Gluesenkamp Perez says she is not an elite, but she continues to prove that she is better than the rest of us with her expensive college degree. Gluesenkamp Perez doesn’t have a worry in the world, and she doesn’t bat an eye about keeping our brave troops overseas in harm’s way and involving them in foreign wars.

We have had many of our military members severely injured and killed in Syria, including congressional candidate Joe Kent’s wife Shannon, who was killed in January 2019 by a suicide bomber in Syria, leaving behind her husband and two young sons.



We continue to spend money on pointless foreign wars while we have pressing domestic issues here at home — inflation, border crisis, domestic security, etc.

We need to bring back all of our American troops from these foreign wars, especially from Syria, now.
