“US officials said on Friday that the Pentagon is expected to confirm concern that there are ‘about 2,000’ US ground troops in Syria, a major increase from the roughly 500 that they officially claim is the case. The US has overtly lied about troop levels in Syria consistently throughout their deployment. President Trump has made a point of troop levels needing to be kept secret from ‘the enemy,’ but consistent lies from the Pentagon about their deployments have made the figures less a closely guarded secret than a mockery of transparency.”
