Yes, if you believe keeping soldiers there and hope that their presence keeps Turkey from rolling over the area. To me that's a terrible strategy that would have would have eventually led to a massacre of US troops. Turkey isn't stupid. They were going to wait for a democrat president where they know there will not be a military retaliation. Keeping a low amount of soldiers to be used as meat shields would have eventaully backfired.
