22 U.S. Service Members Injured in Syria Helicopter Mishap
TL;DR
At least 22 US service members were injured in a helicopter "mishap" in northeastern Syria over the weekend, according to the US Central Command. The cause of the incident is under investigation, and no enemy fire was reported. The US has maintained a small contingent of troops in Syria to prevent a resurgence by ISIS militants, thwart Iranian and Russian ambitions, and provide leverage for other strategic objectives. Despite their degraded capability, ISIS remains a significant threat within the region, said Gen. Michael E. Kurilla, the Centcom commander.
