Kurds in Syria are warily watching the border for an incursion by Turkey. “We must stand up for ourselves…These are our lands; they are not Turkish.”

“We are sons of this country and we will defend it,” said the 36-year-old fighter. Behind him, several members of his local defense force sifted through the detritus the Americans left behind, including ready-to-eat meals and empty bottles of Muscle Milk.
