This is true, and the number is probably higher than one-half. I venture to say that MOST of the US electorate doesn't care about reducing US troop levels in the ME.

It's getting tough for me to see a political benefit to Trump for doing this. The US electorate simply doesn't care very much if at all WRT the blood and treasure we're expending in the ME.

If the Turkish military operation destroys more than just a bunch of Kurd ammo dumps I don't see a political benefit to POTUS. This could hurt him in 2020. The Dems will be more than happy to position themselves as the World's Biggest Fans of the Kurds our Loyal Allies because they can paint Trump as a Back Stabber.
