“I think that it’s too easy for us to forget that having these troops deployed all over the world is costly and risky most of the time,” Rosemary Kelanic, the Middle East Director of Defense Priorities, a think tank that supports a more restrained U.S. foreign policy, told the Washington Examiner. “There aren’t American deaths in Syria. It doesn’t happen that often. And so I think we get lulled into a false sense of security and don’t necessarily realize that we’re taking risks by leaving U.S. forces there indefinitely.”
