“US identifies three soldiers killed in attack in Jordan”

“...in Jordan” LOL - total BS. It’s no secret that they were killed in Syria and only Biden Apologists would argue otherwise.

Sorry, that horse left the barn years ago. It took a moment for Fort “Moore” to register with me as the former Fort Benning, a place and a name special to me.

RIP, soldiers.
