Why was this US base in that country to begin with? These troops were sitting ducks!

[Sean-pmvd]

This is what happens when weakness is shown! My prayers our with all 3 soldiers families and the other 30 injured

[mariebarnes]

If only he would take our Southern
Border seriously!

[didyouknowamazingfacts]

So he just basically said that our troops are there to looking after US interest. What interest could we possibly protecting in someone else's country.

[wolfofossory]

The question is why is US out there in the first place?

[joecardoso]

Only problem is he’s at the beach in Delaware with the smartest guy he knows for the weekend and won’t be bothered during nap time !! Prayers for all US troops.

[michaelmacdonald]

Remember when Trump was President and we had peace & prosperity, energy independence, secure borders and the respect of our adversaries and allies??

[IgshaanBarnes-pkuo]

How I wish all these Whitehouse people would be forced to go fight for what they say .And not other poor, middle class .people's children .

[clementduncan]

What are U S soldiers doing in Jordan they seem to be all over the Middle East dont the countries in the region have armed forces of their own as that would release US soldiers brought back to the States after all local soldiers have local knowledge of the situation and will have an idea of the terroists

[gk-qsri]

This did not happen because we showed weakness abroad. It happened because we showed weakness at home where evil interests that control us demand that we be there in the first place.

[Sectionmillionaire-fgmm]

Why bother with this guy. He’s the spin master.

[ptaing]

US troops in their land is like Russia and Chinese troops in US?

[virginialavajo]

UN. MEANS " DIVIDED NATION "

[wrotedog]

I hope these guys in charge are not soft about this recent blood shed on u.s. troops.

[Jokani]

Maybe they shouldn't at war there....always private interests...not the public one

[rich]

Kirby said he takes attacks on american soldiers seriously, just like he did when 13 service members were killed in the afghan withdrawal.

[vmydrpf]

This is a DISGRACE! This country has lost some backbone. All of us should be angry that the admistration is dancing around this!

[Marie.Quezada]

We need a new Leader that promotes peace, resolutions and unity! Leaders that can put aside religion, beliefs and blame! Bring in war experts! Col Lawrence Wilkerson, Col Douglas Macgregor, Col Daniel Davis, Col Karen Kwaiatkowski

[javierth]

Still waiting on the “Great” Patriot Trump to offer his condolences.

[MemeReady]

"Not looking to escalate the conflict in the region"
You also bombed Yemen in "self defense"
