I think it's a valid question. Read between the lines. https://www.stripes.com/theaters/middle_east/2023-08-17/syria-iraq-isis-11075274.html https://www.stripe

  The question should be why the U.S is not doing more not why it has a military base in Syria. The lesson from Afghanistan is that military alone is not sufficient. Social and political issues(i.e bribery vulnerabilities, education level of the locals, Turkey's relation with the kurds) needs to be addressed as well. However you can't train local troops without a military base in the first place regardless of their education level nor you can enforce social changes.
