I agree they should never be reported. But with this communist/muslim administration, anything to destroy America and her military will be done. I cannot describe the disgust
I feel toward these “in charge”.

Hmmm. An amphibious assault against a heavily fortified target, and the bad guys know we're coming, thereby requiring the wreaking of mass death and mayhem. Didn't the US used to have a corps of troops capable of such a mission?

Yup. That was the assumption. Do they got hammered and withdrew. That’s called “defeat”.

Hence the recommendation to send combat units.
