RIP.

I thought ISIS had been “wiped off the map”

Are we sure these aren’t Iranian or Russian backed fighters?

CharleysPride - you make a great point.

No surprise if the media deliberately used the term “ISIS” to make Trump look bad. Will wait to see if they really were. RIP for these Patriots and God Bless their families.

It sounds like our guys walked into a trap.

And, apparently the “several dozen Iraqi counterterrorism forces” had essentially zero fighting capability...

I’m guessing terrorists are being recruited with the label “Isis” attached in order to portray Trump as “wrong” etc.

The caliphate is kaput, but the fighters weren't all exterminated.

Many of them got a free bus ride to Idlib.

RIP.

He sounds like a Basilone type marine.

Breaks my heart to see these guys die.

Bring them home.

RIP Marines...

There is little to write here that would describe just how good these Marines were. They were the best of the best to be Raiders in MARSOC.

Remember them when you consider your choices for politicians.

Also remember them when you consider how you feel towards communist democrats.

Us Infidels were totally clueless about the obligation of fundamental Muslims for the last 1400 years, and we still have trouble facing up to it, and addressing it. - Tom

I guess it’s because after Vietnam the US doesn’t want to appear as a cut and run country.
