Sorry but whack a mole isn't air support.Do you support Trump's ending of airstrikes against ISIS forces?
HELL NO! ISIS still occupies a 16 by 4 mile area along the Euphrates river in Syria. The ending of U.S. airstrikes against ISIS positions now risks allowing ISIS to rebuild itself and defeat Kurdish ground forces that are fighting it in Syria. It is beyond STUPID to stop military action against ISIS before it has been destroyed. In addition, a pre-mature withdrawal of U.S. forces from Syria will allow the Syrian military, Russian military and Turkish military to overrun Kurdish areas in Syria. It is the total abandonment of an ally that has helped the United States to combat the terrorist forces of ISIS .
Nothing says air support can't be continued if they have trained enough forward controllers within our allies. Syria was always a training mission.

So tell the class what you do when you start running out of targets. They've reached the point of declining returns, why continue to spend money to keep aircraft aloft when they return fully loaded?

Not happening as they are continuing to take out ISIS targets. Kurdish forces with their U.S. advisors were actually pushed back by ISIS in November despite U.S. airpower. That lost ground has been retaken now, but still, its a very delicate situation and now is not the time to be stopping operations!
