“I am ashamed for the first time in my career,” the unidentified soldier, who has been involved in the training of indigenous forces on multiple continents, told Fox News Wednesday.
Turkey launched an offensive against Kurdish groups Wednesday in northern Syria after President Trump announced that U.S. troops would withdraw from the area in anticipation of the operation, removing the chief deterrent to Ankara's offensive.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a staunch Trump ally and defense hawk, fired back, saying the decision was a “disaster in the making” that “ensures [an] ISIS comeback” and “will be a stain on America’s honor for abandoning the Kurds.”
一向是Trump最坚定的同盟的参议员Graham这次也站到了反对Trump的一边,指出撤军的决定“正酝酿着一场灾难”,将“保证伊斯兰国卷土重来”,而“抛弃盟友Kurds是美国荣誉的一大污点”。
