Nothing will happen.  Middle East Wars are an industry.  Some sell weapons.  Some sell policy.  Others run NGO’s to launder American money to anti-American causes under the guise of caring for the refugees.  Maybe they export a few million “refugees” (all military aged men of course) to the very nation’s that made them refugees.  I’m not complaining and to address my own hypocrisy, I enjoy retirement benefits from a career helping fight the last lost cause without even having to see combat.  It is a volunteer force and I learned some very valuable and marketable skills that I probably would not otherwise have.  The only bullets I caught were in my back in my skipper’s office.  Others of my generation were not nearly as lucky.  A few years later, we recycled the same WMD/regime liberation argument (almost verbatim) and went back on the road.  This was after it failed to take hold with the American public in Syria.  The circle remains unbroken.
