Semantic games.
Withdrawing equipment is the usual prelude to withdrawing the troops.
Withdrawing the troops while leaving the equipment behind is an excellent way to lose the equipment.
So the Task & Purpose article is correct they are being rather pedantic about it.
If ISIS now controls 1% of Syria is that too much before a pull out? Should the USA do all of Assad's dirty work before pulling out?
As I remember from Obama's days, the Syrian operation was the destruction of ISIS. That is as done as is practical given ISIS is not a nation but an ideology. Kurds are going to be fine given their outreach to Assad and the Russians. Erdogan is the one in trouble, writing checks he can't cover.
Assad now has Syria and so too Russia and Iran! Our pullout is a bid to do Putin's bidding! and so we have the following bullshit
Pompeo promises ‘Every last Iranian boot’ will be expelled from Syria
Secretary says troop pullout from Syria will go ahead, US ‘will use diplomacy’ while working with partners in anti-Iran front; Israel will have military capacity to defend itself
Got to defeat the enemy at home before you can defeat the enemy abroad.
