Very recently my wife and I met a soldier in the US Army, and he told us that some of his buddies are stationed right now in Syria, and through them he learned that there are 4,000 US soldiers (2,000 Marines and 2,000 Infantry) deployed, boots on the ground, in Syria, waiting for orders to shoot or to be shot at so they can begin the war. Naturally, the public knows nothing of this.
