President Trump pays tribute to Americans killed in Syrian suicide bombing as their bodies arrive back in US
Fox News, Jan 19, 2019

President Trump traveled to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware this morning to receive the bodies of four Americans slain in a suicide bombing in Syria on Wednesday.

U.S. Central Command said in a statement after the blast that two U.S. servicemembers, one Department of Defense civilian and one contractor had died, and another three Americans were injured. Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS, confirmed the fatalities and said that they were killed while on a routine patrol of the Northern city of Manbij, Syria.

On Friday, three of the four Americans slain were identified. Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jonathan R. Farmer, 37, of Boynton Beach, Florida, Navy Chief Cryptologic Technician (Interpretive) Shannon M. Kent, 35, of upstate New York and Defense Department civilian Scott A. Wirtz of St. Louis, Missouri were all named as victims of the suicide blast.

The fourth was identified on Saturday as 27-year-old Ghadir Taher, an Arabic translator from East Point, Georgia. It is believed 16 people died in total.

"After President Trump revoked the use of military aircraft to travel to Afghanistan, the delegation was prepared to fly commercially to proceed with this vital trip to meet with our commanders and troops on the front lines," Drew Hammill, Pelosi's deputy chief of staff, said in a statement.

Too bad President Trump couldn't have rounded up Big Tent Pelosi, her clown posse, and attached sideshow(s) to stand out there to watch that ceremony.

I didn't think it possible. But now I despise Pelosi even more.

Say WHAT??????

What the HELL was a Navy cryptographer and some DoD geek doing on a freaking patrol? Neither would know anything about patrol methods or ambush tactics,and in the case of the anchor clanker, HE IS A CODE SPECIALIST. You do NOT send cryptographers out on combat patrols where they can be captured,and I guess the same could be said for any DoD employee because after one look at his photo ID card there ain't a gomer in the world that won't think he is somebody important in planning,and he is going to have a VERY bad time while captured.

Let's hope this is just one more "news" report written from the bar of an officers club by "reporters" that never leave the compound.

I don't know why @sneakypete    I didn't plan the mission.

@Right_in_Virginia

My apologies. The point I so poorly made is that NOBODY planned that mission. Those guys were just riding in a convoy to the airport or something. There is no way in hell that was a combat patrol.

Piss Poor Reporting.

No apology needed @sneakypete  I was just trying to yank your chain.  Sorry about that. .... I actually got your point and it's a good one.
