I hope Amash's skepticism would be proven wrong.. but my fear is it might not looking at recent trends.
The total number of U.S. troops Trump sent to the Middle East between May 2019 and Oct 2019 = 14,000
And subtract 50 troops from Syria-Turkey border region and add 50 troops to another part of Syria.
Net Result = We're getting out of mideast!

Big deal. We are fighting with more technology and less boots on the ground.
"The U.S. military presence in Germany peaked at 274,119 in 1962, nearly eight times its level last year."
Thank goodness for that. Many Americans died in Germany during that time
"The five countries with the largest active-duty U.S. military presence in 2016 were Japan (38,818), Germany (34,602), South Korea (24,189), Italy (12,088) and Afghanistan (9,023). Of the top five countries, Afghanistan is the only one in open conflict, an issue that President Donald Trump addressed in a speech Monday."
Makes sense. Put the least amount of troops in an area of open conflict so less get killed. I believe that is out of Pattons playbook.
But I got robbed only 4 times last year compared to 5 times the year before. Things are looking up.
Yea Trump
At least he's not escalating as much as the previous Presidents.

They were moved to Iraq, it's a phased withdrawal which is what Trump always said it would be.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper says that under the current plan all U.S. troops leaving Syria will go to western Iraq and the military will continue to conduct operations against the Islamic State group to prevent its resurgence.
His comments were the first to specifically lay out where American troops will go as they leave Syria and what the counter-IS fight could look like. Esper said he has spoken to his Iraqi counterpart about the plan to shift the more than 700 troops leaving Syria into western Iraq.
As Esper left Washington on Saturday, U.S. troops were continuing to pull out of northern Syria after Turkey's invasion into the border region.
He added that the U.S. withdrawal will be deliberate and safe, and will take "weeks not days."
According to a U.S. official on Saturday, about a couple of hundred troops have left Syria so far. The U.S. forces have been largely consolidated in one location in the west and a few locations in the east.

Any news of troops pull back and reducing global interventions is good news. BTW anyone knows how many troops were pulled back?
Also, there are conflicting reports that on the surface could suggest 'bi-polar inner self' but should avoid jumping to such conclusions until fog clears.

As the eyes of many in the Middle East are focused on northern Syria, a special note should be given to what was said in Tehran. After a mysterious incident off the coast of Saudi Arabia, it took the Iranians time to reach a conclusion as to what happened there. But on Wednesday, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission in Tehran said that Israel and Saudi Arabia were involved in the attack on the Iranian oil tanker that came after a series of similar attacks by Iran on tankers making their way to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. In other words, the Iranian account with Israel is still open – and sooner or later an attempt might be made to close it.
US, Israeli efforts put Iraq’s stability on the line ; 104 killed in Iraq unrest, 6000 wounded
Alleged IDF airstrikes targeting Iranian-backed paramilitaries have heightened divisions between the Shiite groups and Iraqi government
20 September 2019
BAGHDAD (AP) — As the United States and Israel escalate their push to contain Iranian influence in the Middle East, countries in Tehran’s orbit are feeling the heat.
Pro-Iranian militias across Lebanon, Syria and Iraq are being targeted, both with economic sanctions and precision airstrikes hitting their bases and infrastructure. This is putting the governments that host them in the crosshairs of an escalating confrontation and raising the prospect of open conflict.

There will always be troops heading out as part of troop rotation until they are all home, but we have cut the number of troops in Iraq in half since January and we are going to keep reducing that number until they are all gone.
I've explained this troop rotation issue before but the TDS trolls like to twist the truth.
