Color photo inside today's Wall St Journal. Shows a small convoy of US fighting vehicles on the move in northern Syria. Five MRAPS and Strykers on wheels, and a white pickup truck bringing up the rear. All six vehicles mount flagstaffs with good sized American flags flying from them. Clearly the vehicle crews think letting every one know that they are Americans will assist in a friendly reception by the locals. If the crews thought the flags would draw fire, they would not fly them.
America, and what we stand for, still has friends in Syria.
