When we bailed out of Syria why didn't we destroy everything left behind, saw buildings and equipment that were as new, thought you left scorched earth nothing for the enemy.

We have destroyed ammunition and other equipment deemed non essential. The hasty withdrawal caught everyone off guard, not just the Kurds.
The US operatives did leave a love note forthe Russians.

Early 60's when DeGaulle pulled out
Of NATO and told us to leave, we did, and destroyed everything we left. Everoux base housing all walls were holed, plumbing fixtures smashed, concrete slurry into umbing, runway cratered, basically anything the French thought they would just move in and homestead was rendered uninhabitable/unusable.Comment

Do you realize how many troops we sent home? 5,000, 500, 250, or 25... The correct number is closer to 25 instead of the other numbers. Our great friends the Kurd's? They are hard line Mao type Commies... "The enemy of my enemy is my friend," doesn't fit forever... Russia was an enemy of our enemy and we helped them and our reward was the Iron Curtain.Comment

So? Half of a country that started and lost WWII got send to their room for forty years. The enemy of my enemy is my friend; Yeah, and the womens grange of the lower platte don't like the Russians either. Yeah, I know it's all real, but it has no effect on me. The cold war meant us kids did duck and cover. Even as a twelve year old, I never was concerned about being attacked by Russia(Nuke us and do what with the smoking remains?). I'm glad Trump invented the phrase, fake news. Now I have a name for it. The last good one I heard was Weapons of Mass Destruction.Last edited by dryheat; 10-19-2019, 11:54.If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.Comment

I'm probably a few years older than you, we never had to duck and cover, (started kindergarten in 1967)
once I was old enough to read a map, I realized there was no duck and cover, nor bug out, since this area, even if the warheads were accurate, would be nothing buy radioactive wastelandComment
