Only three, much better than the Commander in Chief did in Afghanistan. So far. Commander Biden, not German Shepherd Commander who would likely do much better. Related threads

Maybe the Biden Family received a substantial stipend from Iran when Biden was VP. Iran received billions of dollars thanks to Joe to fund their terrorists projects.
I wonder if Jo Jo the Pedo Clown is going to invite the parents and step-parents of these three dead soldiers for him to exploit on his big SOTU Show. Have them sitting in the peanut gallery with his illegal alien chimps.
3 U.S. soldiers died because they were in a war zone of our own making, had no business being there, and were operating in a military campaign that nobody in Washington can justify.
The End.
Do we want Barak running a War with Iran?
Probably. My understanding they were in Jordan to train Jordanian troops and “monitor” the situation. I think they were a tripwire, which was just tripped with no consequences. Either respond very disproportionately or withdraw.
Good for the goose, good for the gander. The Biden family legacy.
Stand up to them? Aren’t we giving them 100s of Billions? Seems to me we’re paying them to attack us and Israel!
US military has no legitimate business in Syria...bring them home now!
Iran will keep testing and pushing us. And if we fail to take the initiative, the attack will come.
We were not ready for the seizure of our embassy in Tehran. We were not ready for the Marine Barracks bombings in Beirut. We were not ready for 9/11. We were not ready for the fall of Kabul. We were not ready for the takeover of shipping in the Red Sea near Yemen.
What aren’t we ready for next? We only have so much time to wait around and find out.
Wars are fought on by taking the offensive or holding defensive positions. When you are always defending, then you allow the enemy to take the initiative and then you have to find out what comes next.

Who is "we," and what makes you think there's any reason to have ANYONE "running" a war with Iran?
When did Congress declare War on Syria and Jordan? When did the Syrian and/or Jordanian governments invite us to put our troops in their countries?
If any of those things happened I missed them.

That’s what they are talking about on Fox.
Ever since Jimmy Carter endorsed the Ayatollahs' take over of Iran, Iran has been actively plotting and acting to destroy the United States. There battle cry is "Death to America".
When you have a hostile nation actively plotting and acting in order to destroy your country, with active attacks against your military, it is hard to see a better reason to act against them.
Well said.
History didn’t start in 1979. The U.S. involvement in Iran goes back to the 1950s when the CIA and the British government overthrew the duly-elected Mossadegh government and installed the Shah’s regime.
Only for decades, in the case of Jordan.
Beginning in June, the new JAF instructors will work side-by-side with their U.S. counterparts and the 4th Prince Hassan Mechanized Battalion in the next JOEP cycle. The JAF instructors will lead training on infantry, mortar, sniper, and medic specialties over the course of 14 weeks to prepare the 4th Prince Hassan Mechanized Battalion for future operations, including border defense.“Jordan has experienced different kinds of threats in the past few decades, who have used terrorism to advance their political agendas,” said Col. Raad Alamairah, who spoke on behalf of the JAF. “During this time, many friends from all around the world have come to Jordan to assist in defending our borders and eliminating these threats. The U.S. is among the best to have come to support our objectives."
The U.S. Army is in Jordan to partner closely with the JAF in meeting common security challenges. Jordan is one of the United States' closest allies in the region.
