Is the U.S. Training Syria’s New Jihadist Army?
Very few media outlets are talking about this, but they should be — urgently.
While most of the world is distracted, U.S. troops are conducting live training exercises in Syria with the forces of the country’s new interim government, now led by Ahmed al-Sharaa — a man widely known as a former Al Qaeda affiliate.
Let that sink in.
Recent reports confirm that U.S. personnel at the Al-Tanf garrison have been training members of the so-called 70th Division, a unit formed from remnants of the Syrian Free Army, which now pledges loyalty to this new government. This comes right on the heels of a massacre of Druze civilians, allegedly carried out by those very same government-aligned forces.
Aiding the Next Generation of Jihadists?
This isn’t just a questionable policy — it could be morally catastrophic.
Druze communities, who have long sought neutrality in Syria’s civil war, were brutally attacked.
Christian populations in the region are living in fear, as radical factions become emboldened under the interim government’s expanding control.
And if history tells us anything, Jewish populations would not be spared if these forces had the reach.
So why is the U.S. military training them?
Why are American taxpayers footing the bill to equip and drill the militias of a former Al Qaeda operative?
This is no conspiracy theory — this is documented policy, hiding in plain sight. And it’s time for people of conscience, across all political lines, to demand answers.
What You Can Do:
Call your elected representatives.
Ask them if they are aware that U.S. troops are partnering with forces linked to jihadi violence and ethnic massacres.
Ask who is vetting these fighters.
Ask why there has been no debate, no vote, and no public oversight.
This is an explosive and deeply dangerous alliance — one that history may judge harshly if it goes unchallenged.
Silence now will be complicity later.
