What's the objective?

The objective in or for what? I'm not understanding the question in response to the statements I made.

Hey Cam I'll just blather out some stuff.

One Gen. that I listened to said they are not but 20-30% through the training phase needed to train those who will be responsible for maintaining stability. So, the idea is while they muddle their way through, there'll be a resurgence of ISIS--it'll come back with a vengeance.

I can try to find a link to that particular video. I bet you've already seen it.

There was another report the US was withdrawing from Afghanistan. The Taliban must be happy.

So, Trump bailed on the Kurds. Erdoğan and Iran's mullahs will be happy.

Pretty sure at this point that Trump is pulling our forces out of Syria and Afghanistan so that he won’t ever have to fly over there to visit our personnel serving in the field. ; )

Trump has now earned the dubious honor of being the first Prez since Reagan’s first years who has not visited our troops overseas during Christmastime.
