Just because American troops are there to advise does not mean they are not being put in harms way and not be involved in combat.

A senior military official says that American military advisory teams will now go to Iraq’s western Anbar province where Islamic State militants have been gaining ground and slaying men, women and children. The teams are part of President Barack Obama’s new directive to expand the U.S. mission in Iraq by deploying another 1,500 U.S. troops to serve as advisers, trainers and security personnel.

No one is disputing that, but "troops" to most people means men/women with guns.

Because Iraq is so safe?

Guarantee you that 90% of the troops over there have some kind of fire power on them when they walk outside. I'd consider that as being in harm's way.
