Ria Rio He doesn't, but in Oct 2019 he was getting attacked from all sides and some military generals resigned after he announced his plans, which could cause Turkey to assault the Kurds. Rolling Stone wrote "It doesn’t appear Trump consulted with the Pentagon or Senate Republicans before ordering the move, which has been met with near-universal condemnation and could unleash chaos in the region.... McGurk resigned in December along with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis after Trump first announced he would remove U.S. troops from Syria, a move the president later walked back following intense criticism."

Both served voluntarily and both served proudly. If your children want to serve, how will you stop them. I am not a Hawk. I have served in direct and indirect combat three tours. I hate war, but to think that I am smarter than the President is the height of arrogance. You do what you want and say whatever you want, that is your right, but don't try to tell others that we must think like you.
