U.S. copters support Iraqi troops battling ISIS

On February 13, 2015, CNN reports that an Apache unit was deployed to help out the Iraqi troops in Ayn al-Assad Air Base to defend against ISIS. Even though the U.S. forces were there to support the Iraqi miltants, the apaches didn't have to use force. ISIS has been an ongoing issue and has been taking over a majority of U.S. and Iraqi bases. The fact that the Apache unit were there to support the Iraqi militants raises questions on how much the U.S. has to get involve with the fight against ISIS. This article is important because this may cause the U.S. National Government to deploy more troops out to Iraq to fight the war against ISIS. I'm very passionate about this topic because I was one of the last units to leave Iraq and I feel all the work the troops and I had to go through was all for nothing.
