Tragic to lose the troops today but staying there just ensures more will die -and for what? To continue the farce Obama started?

We apparently don’t have generals who know how to carpet bomb.

This is what happens when we counter man the President’s orders. I lay this squarely on NEO CON john Bolton. GET THE HELL OUT OF There. Why were we there? GET OUT!! I promise you that this is arranged to keep us there. It must expedite our immediate exit!!

Pull our troops out and nuke the site from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

Absolutely! The US shouldn’t be there in the first place. Why are we risking our good people to fight for or against various Muslim sects? The threat to the US is Islam here. Let these savages kill each other in their own countries. Trump should get rid of Bolton and Pompeo ASAP, before they get us into more futile, perpetual fights.

I thought ISIS was defeated, anyway, I’ve heard there are a few suspects besides ISIS but ISIS it probably is.

No, 2 US servicemen were previously killed in this same area when someone put a bomb into their APC.

Nope this is a Turkish operation. Certain ISIS cells have pledged allegiance to Turkey.
Free Kurdistan!

I have to ask why we didn’t do that in Iraq and Afghanistan?
