Three U.S. soldiers were killed and at least two dozen were injured in a drone attack overnight on a U.S. outpost in Jordan, officials tell CNN. This is the first time U.S. forces have been killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since the beginning of the Gaza war

“And even worse I fear it is the future of terrorist acts on our domestic front. If a bad guy wants to inflict major causalities then it can be done with off the shelf stuff you can buy today.”

So maybe somebody, somewhere, is working on an ‘off the shelf’ affordable anti-drone device...?

I have seen two instances of drones flying over my house/neighborhood thus far. In both instances, it was late at night, they had bright white lights on them... the kind a helicopter would have... but were completely silent and undetectable audibly. No motor or “droning” sound at all.

Some kind of spy drones, I suspect... being operated by government entities. Which is why I doubt that any such anti-drone devices will ever become available to ‘We, the People’.

Why do we have an “outpost in Jordan?”

We as Americans need to stop being so naive

We need to take a page out of russias book

We need to stop being the paper tiger and start being more ruthless

The problem is Iran, they are holding the world hostage and will get worse when they get nuclear weapons

Iran will use those nuclear weapons 100% guarantee

Anyone who believes otherwise is dreaming

There is only one solution is to take out Iran. There is no other solution

Iran backed henchmen have killed these 3 Americans and wounded 25 other

...Unfortunately, this is the future of warfare

Not the future anymore. The present. Now. The Russians and the Ukes have been using drones extensively in their war.

The US needs to get itself OUT of so many of these places. No point in being there.

Does nothing?

Hey, what do you call laying on a beach eating ice cream? That’s a lot work trudging across sand to get to your beach umbrella, man!

Time to seize all ships carrying Iranian oil.


There’s an Iranian ship, currently in the Gulf of Aden, that apparently identifies targets for the Houthi rocketeers (a great band name). It seriously needs to suffer an ‘accident’ of some sort. Perhaps run into an old sea mine...

I’ve got a low level anti drone device that was bought off the shelf, a 12ga. shotgun.

“And Biden does........... nothing.......”

He probably doesn’t know. You can be sure the America haters running this country cheer it.

One drone or a swarm to kill/injure 25 troops? Seems to me that recent events have shown the need for an effective defense against such things that needs to be deployed everywhere we have troops.

When leftists are in charge of our country, I wonder if having some of our military killed is part of their plans.

“I’ve got a low level anti drone device that was bought off the shelf, a 12ga. shotgun.”

The only problem is... it’s not a silent solution, and thus, it would be very easily traceable back to you. Not a good option unless you just enjoy jail. I was thinking more in terms of a small, affordable, directable EMP device. But perhaps I’m just dreaming.

The drones were purchased with Americans’ money.

I’m sure we’ll soon hear that Beau Biden was among those killed

Bravo. Truly.

> Why do we have an “outpost in Jordan?” <

It’s for the same reason why the Roman and the British Empires had to have outposts everywhere. It’s just what empires do. It’s a hardware issue, so to speak.

It’s also a major reason why empires collapse.

Oh, and don’t dare complain about it. You don’t want to be called an isolationist.

Trump tried to withdraw from Syria. They disobeyed and concealed the truth.

Just don’t overshoot with the EMP device and hit a passenger jet. That sounds like a Simon Bar Sinister invention.

Quick, somebody tell us a good reason to have US troops in Jordan...or Syria...or Iraq.
