When are we bringing US soldiers back from Syria? They're just sitting ducks to Iran with just 900 soldiers there.

[MrDarcie]

If Biden really wanted to help he would step down as president and let a competent person be in charge. The world is laughing at America right now.

[JA-regi]

When your children are drafted to fight in World War 3, you might miss Trump's crazy tweets.

[American_patriot]

Why in the beginning the Government put those soldiers in Harms way when there is no clear cut reason for them to be there. Few hundred soldiers stationed in the midst of a burning region is totally wrong. Rest in peace my fellow soldiers. We will never forget you.

[neckarsulme]

I miss the days when we had a president who kept the US out of these pointless money wasting wars

[Montanamusketloader]

What about the 2 navy seals who died early this month?

[andrewweisel]

A full scale war? I sure wouldn’t want to be back in the military now. Back when I was in, they would move heaven and earth to avenge any of our lives

[RacecarSpelledBackwards]

By holding them accountable I think he means there will be 10 billion from his ‘Border Security’ bill carved out for the mullahs.

[ChopPvP]

We need trump back. Trump would handle this situation correctly. Biden makes Americans look weak and we could end up paying for it.

[nmtmobf]

Well? I’d say these attacks ARE ‘a military escalation, ’ & that’s how you meet it.

[kingofallkarens]

Keep your nose out of other people’s business and countries. Stop trying to be the international police.

[Tony]

The Military industrial complex is so happy right now!

[Wide_Eyed_Wanderer]

Somebody get this joker out of office! Countries are LAUGHING at US for our president! HE is leaving US vulnerable and wide open for another war! We are already seen as weak because of him. God help us. Bless our military (every branch) and their families. I’m grateful to you all for your service and efforts, your sacrifices to keep us safe and strong as possible despite certain members of government.

[AstraLzard]

No reason to be there in the first place. Senseless casualties

[justin]

There’s no reason for US soldiers to be in West Asia

[Yololololollol]

Why do I keep seeing “Iran-Backed”?! Do we see “US-Backed Israel” in the news constantly?

[DutchSantana]

Escalation after escalation after escalation... I feel as if I'm telling my toddler to settle down lol

[patclark]

So far, the US responses to over 150 attacks has been a couple of fighter planes bombing empty warehouses.
A feeble reply from a feeble Administration.
I suggest the path of talking softly and carrying a big stick.

[Stonewallgaston]

Still waiting for PEACE TO BREAK OUT AND NOT WAR

[NAFO_MythicPlague]

I hope those lost did not suffer and that they meet their maker with a clean soul and loving heart.
