Before he deployed to Niger, Staff Sgt. Jeremiah Johnson told his family that if he died, he did not want to see his name in the news. “I’m going to honor his wishes,” his mother said in response to a request for an interview.
Staff Sgt. Dustin M. Wright told his grandmother he was in Africa doing “paperwork.” His family members now ask who, and what, he was sent to fight.pic.twitter.com/AJDxLstuEK
These 4 U.S. soldiers were killed in Niger while on a mission that few Americans, even senior lawmakers, knew anything about. Here is what The New York Times has uncovered about the last minutes in their lives.http://nyti.ms/2Ewesc3
Heartbreaking.




thank you for your amazing journalism
Incredible story. Great reporting. Very sad and confusing how this could happen.
Prayers are words spoken into the air the only value of which is a degree of self-delusional comfort. Our citizens die in misguided, often illegal combat because of politicians controlled by economic actors who don't care about soldiers or sons. Stop praying. Start revolting.
Tears. And gratitude for this terrible truth.
Heartbreaking. Those who serve are human too, and make very human sacrifices for us abroad. Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed. #Veterans #thankyouforyourservice #prayforoursoldiers










the best newspaper in the world forever and success alhamdulillah together always family



















Still no answers either. That’s the worse part. Republicans have kicked those whole tragic episode to the curb...because they don’t care.
I disagree. The prayer was prayed & the prayer was heard but it was not God’s will. Praying for their strength & comfort
