This means the mission failed. If you have to extricate troops in such a hasty, humiliating fashion, your mission was flawed from the outset. Easy to blame it exclusively on Trump but the entire project was clearly fatally flawed if it ended this way.

Um, but the US forces had to do this because Trump forced an incredibly stupid and ill-timed retreat. Thus, "the media" and everyone other sentient person correctly blames this a absolute fiasco on Trump.

No matter what Trump chose. They would have found a reason to bash him.

There's no heroic way to end a war. We learned that in Vietnam as leader after leader promised to end the war, but the yellow-baiting kept pushing leaders to send in more troops: to bomb more villages, till sanity prevailed.pic.twitter.com/bJrMCZJmj2

The corporate media is obsessed with how Trump is embarrassing us on the world stage, until they aren't

No matter what when we left we would have destroyed the bases. Why is that humiliating? Sounds smart, takes away at least one advantage from the turkish. You'd rather they dismantle it over years or something? Anytime we ever leave a country in the ME its going to be rough.

People are going to try things they wouldnt have otherwise. But Kurds are aligning with Syria, Syria is ratifying their constitution to include them if the agreement holds up. We didn't sign on to fight our NATO ally Turkey for the kurds, so alternative was another US war.

I think it was indeed portrayed as such. Who do you think is responsible for such a hasty retreat?

It’s not because we should be leaving. Destroying them is part of it

Bro - there aren't any "military" actions or "battlefields" These are dramas with live soldiers only playing the parts. The entire premise of "confusing MidEast" unravels with the slightest scrutiny to reveal that. Everybody is dropping concrete from B52s

At this point, most people don’t care how we do it just as long as we get out.

Also described as a hand off to the other power, who now will have to risk the lives of their own people.

Lol. It's only humiliating to fools who have conveniently fragile egos. Seriously. Think about this tweet, everyone. Think about it.

I'd typically agree with you but this particular circumstance it shouldn't have been necessary. It's not as if it's the fall of Saigon that's taking place.

'humiliating' Fighting in Syria isn't in US interests. Committing US resources to a conflict we get nothing out of makes the US look stupid and puts people in unecessary danger. Stupid policy is what's 'humiliating'. Leaving garbage behind for others to pick through? isn't.
