Will US Soldiers Fight ISIS on the Ground?
The United States may need to send its ground troops back into Iraq to push the Islamic State terror group out of that country, outgoing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said. He also admitted that some White House officials were not happy with his cautious approach in releasing Guantanamo detainees.
"I think it [driving out Islamic State terrorists] may require a forward deployment of some of our troops, not doing the fighting, not doing the combat work that we did at one time for six years in Iraq and we did for many, many years in Afghanistan, but to help air strike," Hagel said in an interview with CNN aired Friday.
"I would say that we're not there yet," said Hagel, who announced his resignation allegedly under pressure in November. "Whether we get there or not, I don't know. Whether that's something that our military commanders would recommend into the future, I don't know."
