The use of the military in Syria began after ISIS formed a calipath and was used as counter terrorism operations in Syria. ISIL or Daesh (as they are known in Arabic) was the pretext for US military operations under the Obama administration. I wasn't aware that it was the first strike directly at the Assad regime. Still, the US ultimately didn't come into direct conflict with the Assad regime. That was an effort to stop the use of chemical weapons.
Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.
