What we (the U.S.) need to do in Syria

What prompted this post was

"A split emerges as Biden struggles to deter attacks on U.S. troops"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/11/19/iranian-proxy-attacks-us-troops/

That article contains a map showing numerous bases of U.S. forces in Syria.

Now, my question is (pardon my French) "What the fuck is the U.S. military doing in Syria?".

Syria has absolutely nothing to do with U.S. security, or the U.S. national interest.

Why should we put our troops in harms way there, subject to attack?

I can see absolutely no reason for that from the point of view of the U.S.

So the answer to the question in the subject line is:

"Get the hell out."
