President Barack Obama announced this past Friday, that he will be sending the first group of ground forces to Syria to advise and assist Kurdish guerillas and other rebel groups fighting ISIS as well as the Syrian President Bashar Assad in their ongoing civil war. "The special forces will work with the Syrian Arab Coalition along the Syrian border, including helping to co-ordinate air strikes." They are not expected to enter any combat zones nor engage in any fighting. However, they will be advising and assisting the anti-ISIS regime and will if necessary have the weapons if need be to defend themselves.
This marks a significant point in American history as the President attempts to intensify the battle against ISIS, a major threatening terrorist organization. According to the White House, "it marks a significant escalation," and foreshadows possibly another major war and/or further terrorist further
terrorist attacks in the U.S. If hypothetically we went entered another war in the Middle East, this would be a major catalyst that initiated it all.
