I think it’s poetic that as our fallen soldiers were landing home, bombers were taking off to avenge them. Eye for an eye

I wonder if people that experienced the 2008 crash had it easier because. my portfolio has lost over $27000 and I don't see my retirement turning out well when I can't even grow my stagnant reserve

I like the theory that the warning was two fold: 1, to warn allies in the region to prepare & 2, They are monitoring these groups intensely and tracked where they fled to verify hiding places they were not certain on.

Remember who was supposed to start this?

Putting our troops in our harm's way, all for the sake of Israel. How shameful.

Our Military brass is now the Desert Storm Generation. They are probably thinking "here we go again"....

85 strikes, 12 kills. And they call that a success. Just like waste of money.

Not a smart way to ask us to go home, now you won’t have one

[stancnet]

Why is the reporter talking with this strange tone?

[bobomaigret]

US always has money for military contractors, but not for healthcare.

[highplainsaccountability]

Why would we, The USA tell the enemy that we are going to Hit Them ?
That sounds stupid to me

[samuelhomer]

God bless 🙏🙏🙏 all the people that died in this

When you are on the cutting edge of producing new and innovative military hardware and selling it around the world as soon as you have a new and better line built. You may find yourself in perpetual war!!

I am world traveler but will absolutely not travel to the Middle East. Too much conflict.

[johnnymisbegotten]

Why were those poor African Americans in a backwater post in the Middle East?

[mycharmedunicorn]

And I thought they said President Trump was gonna start wars. 😂😂😂

[iFryTube]

Literally EVERYONE, even the terrorist knew the US was coming. ALL except Iraq, Iraq had no clue.

If this is true, perhaps Iraq needs a new government, more freedom. 😉

[aaronkamakaze]

Why are we there though? Status quo presidents, status quo wars.

A retaliation cause a next retaliation. It's indefinitely.😢
