"Deepest thoughts and humblest prayers"? I'm sure the family of that soldier will be happy that Donny Tiny Hands thought deeply and didn't brag to God.

I'm from Singapore and its reported in my news that 14 terrorist and 1 servicemen was killed

[horseygurl]

He had to jump Yemen right away, since Yemen was on the banned list. It made his decision look legit, whether it was or not. Wow.

They never mention the fact that 40+ innocent civilians, including women and children died in that drone strike support raid.

A 10-year old girl was killed in this raid for your information.

[Allmula]

that's why you join never forget it is a sacrifice to serve

[AldousHuxley]

WHY ARE WE IN YEMEN?! THATS THE REAL QUESTION.

US warplanes launched 16 missiles hitting three houses before the raid and killed a 8 year old girl including 30 men, women and children. Seal Team 6 rush in afterwards and one service member dies.

If you commit a crime in the name of any faith you are no longer a practitioner of that faith my thoughts go out to the brave service members that died and 3 that were wounded we can hope that the ultimate sacrifice that was made was worth the gain

Jesus doesn't lose a single one that belongs to Him...

You sign up to be a soldier you know what you signed up for. RIP Hero. Trump is commander & Chief he decides what they do. No comment if it was right or not.
