I've been on quite a few military installations, lived on one, worked at two, and even those permanent bases didn't have a refinery on-site. I supremely doubt that there's equipment on a foreign base or forward operating base.
I'm former military, I've deployed twice, but none of that qualifies any statement towards the US routinely exploiting countries like Syria for their natural resources.
The other poster is making the point that they did not observe any ability, at large military installations or small, to refine or store oil or unprocessed wheat.
Did you during your service?
Edit: changed “he” to “they”
I am not making that point.
