Top US general in the Mideast says ISIS in Iraq and Syria still long-term threat | Military Times

Gen. Frank McKenzie has said that while the US has been in the Middle East fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria, thousands of people’s lives have been displaced. The fight is not over until some sort of order and normalcy is brought into these people’s lives. One fear is that the children in these displaced homes see the destruction and become radicalized, causing the cycle of fighting to continue. McKenzie believes this will require joint efforts between diplomatic, security and humanitarian organizations.
