Here, in the good ol' United States of America, we often are so busy with our busyness that we forget the enemies we have abroad. One those remains the group ISIS, a group...
According to Annie Barnard and Hwiadi Saad in their article "Raqqa, ISIS ‘Capital,’ Is Captured, U.S.-Backed Forces Say," they report, "American-backed forces said...they had seized the northern Syrian city of Raqqa from the Islamic State, a major blow to the militant group..." While we sit here in the comfort of our schools and homes, our troops are overseas fighting an enemy that drifts to the back of our minds, hardly ever surfacing, leaving us living in a state of "fake" happiness...maybe?
My concern? This: "The United States Central Command stopped short of declaring victory, saying that 'more than 90 percent of Raqqa is in S.D.F. control,' a reference to the Syrian Democratic Forces, an American-backed militia group made up of Syrian Kurds and Arabs." Do the math. That leaves 10%. Too many for too much celebration, for this group seems to have not problem recovering, recruiting, and retaliating.
Americans need to know and read and learn and care what happens.
