CNN: Dozens of fighters trained by U.S.-led coalition reportedly enter Syria
At least 75 fighters trained by U.S., British and Turkish forces have entered northern Syria, a monitoring group said.
The fighters crossed over from Turkey on Friday and Saturday and are now located in areas north of the city of Aleppo, said the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Their arrival comes shortly after U.S. officials acknowledged that the Pentagon's program to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels to help fight ISIS had fallen far short of its original aims.
A top U.S. general told the Senate last week that of the thousands of fighters the U.S. military was supposed to train in the first year, only four or five remained in place on the battlefield.
WNU Editor: 75 fighters in a war zone as large as Syria .... here is an easy prediction .... they are going to have zero impact on this war.
