It is concerning. Mattis' resignation letter was an indictment of the Trump foreign policy in my opinion. I would also like to see us getting out of the ME, especially Syria. My concern is more with what appears to be a knee-jerk reaction from Trump rather than a clearly articulated plan that the DOD of Pentagon were on board with, much less simply aware of. Trump's decision appears to have taken a lot of the military and national security leadership by surprise and that should never be the case when implementing major policy changes. I don't necessarily disagree with this point either. That said, my concern is more centered on the fact that this appears to be a knee jerk reaction from Trump rather than a carefully planned withdrawal. That said, the generals seem to be taken off guard with this decision and while I agree that our democratically elected leaders should be the ones with the final say so on these matters, the fact that our generals and leadership were caught off guard is highly concerning because it means they were not consulted.
https://www.brookings.edu/research/tracking-turnover-in-the-trump-administration/ Turnover in the Trump administration has been historic to say the least. The link above goes into greater detail as to the extent of it. The premise that this is a good thing is laughable. Find me any CEO who will tell you that turnover is a good thing. Further, Trump hired all these people.
Rand Paul is the only Republican I've seen lining up a the microphone to endorse this Syrian pullout.
Schumer was bobbing his head there like he was blowing Vlad. No doubt he would do it behind closed doors. What a groveler.
You have to cut the Trumpster some slack. He's and outsider with a blood thirsty establishment out to derail him at every turn. Turnovers bound to be higher than normal - much higher. But it should be much more stable in his 2nd term - Trump is sharp as a honed obsidian blade.
