Biden to attend ceremony of 3 soldiers killed in Iran drone strike, after sparking anger
The Mirror ^ | 30 Jan 2024 | Yelena Mandenberg

Amid vows of retaliation over a drone strike that killed three in Jordan, Americans are furious to find out that President Joe Biden has no plans to attend the soldiers' ceremonies - with the president announcing hours later that he will attend after all.

Sgt. William Rivers, 46, Spc. Brianna Moffatt, 23, and Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, all from Georgia, were killed when U.S. forces "may have mistaken" an enemy drone for an American one and let it pass unchallenged into a desert base in Jordan on Sunday.

The drone killed three U.S. troops and wounded dozens more. The bodies of the troops that were killed are expected to be flown back to Dover Air Force Base in a ceremonious transfer.

When asked by journalists if President Biden planned to attend the ceremony, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby the president didn't "have anything on schedule to speak to."

Many took to the internet to voice their displeasure, finding the response "disgraceful."

"Joe Biden just got three black members of the military killed,” wrote "free speech" advocate Phillip Anderson on X, who is an activist online that considers themselves a "January 6th survivor," who "stopped the Portland riots and had his "teeth knocked out protesting Big Tech censorship."

All 3 solders were black.
If they were white, Biden would not be attending funerals.

All lives matter because they made the ultimate sacrifice. But you’re 💯 correct.

The three soldiers were black patriots. Probably Biden’s handlers made the decision they did not want to be seen by his most important identity group supporters in any way as connected to their deaths. However, the pressure got too much when the usual race folks started laying the argument black lives don’t matter to him thus forcing his handlers to relent and have him put in a quick appearance, not that Biden or his handlers much care about them.

Biden has to go to prove to the Black Audience that he’s truly not the racist we think he is.

His doctor had better inject him with something that will make him stand perfectly still so he doesn’t humiliate himself and the American People.

similar set-up that was used in Independence Day.

the old school alien spaceship was brought back to life and proceeded to 'walk righ in" and infect the mother-ship with malicious code.

this drone must have been one from Afghanistan that biden girt-wrapped and handed off to Iran, via Isis.

f'in biden. is there anything he hasn't screwed up?

So the President will no longer be able to deploy the troops to hostile places? Only 44% of the recruits are White.

The majority of soldiers and Marines killed or wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan were young, white, enlisted personnel from active-duty units, according to a study released Friday by the federal Government Accountability Office.

The demographic study involved 1,841 service personnel who were killed and 12,658 who were wounded, as of May 28.

Whites, who constitute 67% of the active-duty and reserve forces, accounted for 71% of the fatalities. African Americans are 17% of the overall force and were 9% of the fatalities. Hispanics are 9% of the force and were 10% of the fatalities.

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are 3% of the force and were 3% of the fatalities. American Indian/Alaskan Natives are 1% in each category. The race of the remaining fatalities was listed as “multiple or unknown.”

For whites, the percentage of deaths was the lowest since the Defense Department began keeping such statistics. In Korea, 80% of fatalities were white, in Vietnam, 86%, and in the Persian Gulf War, 76%.

I don’t think we’ve hit the bottom yet. If Joe wins again in November, you’ll have less than 44% of the Recruits who are white.

>>>Here’s hoping the new Gold Star Families lead the booing and chanting.

It is truly terrifying to have such a POS wielding such power, who has no conscience, no basic decency and only thinks with ruthless self-serving calculations!!!

‘Where Biden refuses to go to the cemetery and attend the funerals of fallen soldiers. Where he said, and I quote, ‘ those soldiers are a bunch of losers’’

That’s what Biden said.

Biden’s glasses will project ‘don’t look at your watch’ so, of course, he will constantly look at his watch and say, “Period, period, period!”
