        Can you imagine if it turned out that these soldiers killed in Niger weren’t sufficiently armed, while nutjobs with military grade assault rifles kill kids in school, people in church, concerts, etc. stateside? What a screwed-up country we are!

        It’s pretty clear they were diverted on a mission for which they were not equipped weapon wise transport wise and no air cover was provided. Who ever ordered this change should be demoted & court marshaled.

        they had no backup, no support, no anything but each other. Damn shame, we need answers and asap. Technology brings a whole new dynamic to what people see. We need to publicly see who is responsible from the C-I-C all the way down to the Ops O who signed off. we should be pissed.

        And why is Trump not being called out on this? He green lighted it knowing it was poorly planned.

        First we heard that they weren't trained well enough for this mission, then it was called unauthorized, now it's not properly armed and trained. Does anybody know what the hell was really going on there? Who answers to this?

        There appears to be a typo in the article: "widow" is typo'd "widwo" @jmbacon (in an image caption)
