A U.S. Marine who went into the sea from a V-22 Osprey during a flight mishap over the northern Gulf this week is the first American to be killed in U.S. military operations against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria.

Corporal Jordan Spears, 21, of Memphis, Indiana, was a crewman aboard a V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft flying off the USS Makin Island and went into the sea when the aircraft lost power shortly after takeoff, the Navy said on Friday.

The V-22 descended to the surface of the ocean.....

Remember the American media blaming Bush for every military death?

My guess is the American media largely ignores the tragic death of this young man.

I would not be surprised to see Corporal Jordan Spear’s death attributed to a “tragic accident” by the DOD and the MSM.

“... descended to the surface of the ocean.”

Seagulls “descend to the surface of the ocean.” Ospreys “fall.”
