Alexander the Great destroyed the city of Thebes because he wanted to send a message to the other Greeks that were thinking of revolting like Thebes did. Thebes and other Greek city-states had a pact with Phillip II, Alexander's father, king of Macedonia, that they would be a part of Macedonia. When Phillip died and Alexander took over Macedonia, the Greeks did not want to bow to a 'child' (a 20 year old). Also it had been rumored in the cities that Alexander was dead and it was the perfect time to revolt. That is the reason Alexander the Great destroyed the city of Thebes.

President Trump is expected to order the U.S. military to withdraw thousands of troops from Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia by the time he leaves office in January, using the end of his time in power to significantly pull back American forces from far-flung conflicts around the world.
Under a draft order circulating at the Pentagon on Monday, the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan would be halved from the current deployment of 4,500 troops, officials said.
In Iraq, the Pentagon would trim force levels slightly below the 3,000 troops that commanders had previously announced. And in Somalia, virtually all of the more than 700 troops conducting training and counterterrorism missions would leave.
