Tom Mannion, a New Hampshire State Representative, posted a series of tweets in January 2026 addressing U.S. military involvement in Syria and state-level policy issues.
On January 20, Mannion commented on recent events in Syria involving various factions and U.S. forces. He wrote, “Our allies (Al’Qaida) attacked our allies (the Kurds) in Syria (where we still have troops deployed, and lost 2 National Guardsmen last month) and ISIS prisoners escaped.” The tweet highlights ongoing conflict between armed groups in the region, as well as continued deployment of U.S. troops in Syria.
Two days later, on January 22, Mannion posted two links without additional commentary: “https://t.co/3xQ0zQZuIH https://t.co/xPSEY598d7”.
On January 23, Mannion addressed a state-level issue regarding inspections. He urged his followers to take action by stating, “Make your voices heard loud and clear – keep inspections dead!”
The reference to the loss of two National Guardsmen underscores the risks faced by U.S. personnel still stationed in Syria as part of ongoing operations against extremist groups such as ISIS. The situation remains complex due to shifting alliances among local actors including Kurdish forces and other armed groups.
Mannion’s remarks about inspections relate to debates within New Hampshire regarding regulatory requirements for vehicle or facility inspections—a topic that has seen significant public interest and legislative activity over recent years.
