I wonder if these Marines will be court-martialed for not warning the TALIBAN that they were going to strike! Ya know the new rules of engagement ordered by the traitor in chief.

Can we just have a military operation and learn about it later, instead of having a live report? Good Grief!!

Yeah. Saw some 10th Mountain Div. too. Must be file footage. Can’t expect PMSNBC to know the difference.
