United States Advisors are there to provide expertise to facilitate the Iraqi military to end the dangers from Daesh. They are not there to kill Assad's forces, they aren't there to root out any al Qaeda and kill them.
Senator McCain hasn't seen enough killing I suppose. It is wrong for the USA military to enter into a civil war. The USA is to end any attempt at genocide. The United Nations is attempting to bring about shared governance. That is if Assad's forces are actually alive to serve a shared governance.
These are Assad's forces being killed. The USA is not needed in a war where enemies of one side or the other change like the wind. The USA has killed enough in the Middle East. The regional powers need to take over protections of their countries.

The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) (click here) has released a video showing the killing of some 20 government soldiers in the historic town of Palmyra in central Syria.
The video released Saturday showed the soldiers being taken in pickup trucks from the town's notorious Tadmur prison to the amphitheater. At the theater, they are shot dead by young ISIL members armed with pistols. Hundreds of people were seen watching the killings.
It was not clear when the killings took place.
The Associated Press reported in May that scores of troops and state employees were killed after ISIL captured the town.
Palmyra is a UNESCO world heritage site famous for its 2,000-year-old Roman colonnades, other ruins and priceless artifacts. ISIL members destroyed two historic mausoleums in Palmyra, Syria’s head of the government’s Antiquities and Museums Department told the AP on June 24.
