America's mission to train and partner with Syrian Democratic Forces in the fight against ISIS has been tested in recent months. Last year, President Donald Trump ordered U.S. troops to withdraw from Syria as part of his vow to bring forces home and halt the endless wars. "He knows, and I agree, that we're not going to be here for 100 years," McKenzie said. "I frankly don't know how long we're going to be here, and I have no instructions other than to continue to work with our partner here." Operations against ISIS were interrupted following a U.S. drone strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s top military general in Iraq.
