But I'm no oath taker.

Another short answer. I am not in favor of the US betraying an ally, pulling out our troops who days ago stood along side the same people who helped us fight ISIS, so they could be massacred by some totalitarian regime our fake ass dictator jackass pres thinks he is friends with.

Then again, it isn't the first time we have done this:
There were the Iraqis who helped us and served in our Army. We promised they could come to the U.S. Most are still in Iraq.
There were the tribesmen in Afghanistan who we used to kick the Soviets out. Then we walked away and let the Taliban have the country.

There were the Hmong in Vietnam who sided with us against North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. Some were allowed to come to America. Most retreated illegally to the jungles of Southeast Laos dodging the Laotian Army and trying to survive amid the hundreds of thousands or air-dropped land mines and unexploded ordinance we left there.

At some point, this all becomes like Lucy pulling the football up in front of Charlie Brown.... except people are dying. Sooner or later, people will get the message: "Don't trust the Americans"

If we leave Syria now and just hope the Kurds secure those camps despite the Turkish threats, then ISIS will bound up again as soon as the Kurds retreat/ are killed/ abandon the camps.

How can his defenders support Trump turning America over to Russia like this? All for politics.
The blood of our Ally is on Trumps hands.

Answers are lining up nicely.  Now the counter question:

LOL Some may still defend trampling on the Constitution to prevent a "legislative coup" ("Article II says he can do what he wants!"), but I didn't expect many Trump defenders to defend the Kurd betrayal.

Curious thing though--Trump's retreat seems to have so far silenced the anti-anti-Trumpers, the "independents" who don't watch Fox News but throw up Trump talking points fast as Hannity and Tucker.  This time around they aren't attacking Trump critics for forgetting Hillary or criticizing Trump just because his style is "different."
