A convoy of US military vehicles was pelted with fruit and stones while traveling through Qamishli, near Syria’s border with Turkey, on October 21.

A correspondent for the ABC reported seeing US armored vehicles pelted with stones and rotten fruit, while local news outlet Hawar (ANHA) shared video of civilians holding up images of dead Kurdish fighters while congregating around the vehicles.

The previous evening, residents in Qamishli staged a small demonstration, standing in front of US military vehicles and holding aloft signs addressed to “the US Army who are leaving northeast Syria”.

The Kurdish forces have thousands of men and women under arms.  The US has given guns and
 vehicles and weapons to the Kurds over the last five years.

But the Kurds don't seem to want to stand and fight against the Turkish Army or the Islamist militias fighting for the Turks who were also armed by the US.  The Kurds seem to have little faith in the men who fight for Kurdistan.  Only Americans can save the Kurdish people.  Only children and women are left behind to face the Turks and the Islamists.  The Kurdish military uses the US supplied vehicles to retreat as fast as they can.  No one wants to die for Kurdistan, they want to profit off a new country not die to help defend it.

One sign read, “Tell your children that the children of the Kurds were killed by the Turks, and we did nothing to protect them.”  The Kurds would never hold up a sign like that in front of retreating cowardly Kurdish fighters.  Kurdish fighters would shoot them dead in the street if civilians dared to insult them.  Throwing fruit or stones would be responded to with a massacre of everyone in the immediate area.  Middle Eastern men in armed groups are merciless to unarmed opponents, especially if they are women and children.  That's their 'culture.'
.
So American soldiers who are pulling away from the front lines between Turkey and the Kurds are supposed to go home and tell their children that they weren't brave enough to fight to protect Kurdish women and children because Kurdish male fighters were.... what are they busy doing again?  Why can't Kurdish militiamen fight the Turks?  Too busy manning checkpoints two hundred miles away from the front?  Too busy protecting the government 500 miles away from the Turks and their insane Islamist allied mercenaries?
