Colonel Francois-Regis Legrier: coalition’s focus was limiting its own risks: "refusing ground engagement, we unnecessarily prolonged the conflict and thus contributed to increasing the number of casualties in the population.

Weird statement tho, since he knows France only has about 200 troops in Syria. And pretty sure SDF & US troops aren't thrilled about trying to capture crazed suicide bombers.
# of French troops in Syria irrelevant to his statement
US troops like US cops put their own safety ahead of everything else
