Buy Turkish war bonds so they can bomb more American troops & Allies!
Pentagon spokesman U.S. Navy Capt. Brook DeWalt, said in a statement that U.S. troops in Syria “came under artillery fire” from Turkey’s side of the border.
One U.S. Army officer said that multiple rounds of 155 mm fire were launched, and that they had a “bracketing effect” in which shells landed on both sides of the U.S. outpost.
.
“That’s an area weapon,” the officer said, noting its high explosive effects. “That’s not something we ever would have done to a partner force.” U.S. forces say Turkey was deliberately ‘bracketing’ American troops with artillery fire in Syria.
Brett McGurk, a former special envoy for the Trump administrations in the campaign against the Islamic State, raised concerns about the incident Friday, saying that the United States had declared the position to Turkey. “This was not a mistake.”
Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the Turkish military “is fully aware, down to explicit grid coordinate detail,” of the location of U.S. troops in Syria.
