[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What has the US ever learned from pissing in the pool of the ME ever since we helped Britain overthrow Iran's democracy in the 1950s?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.  It is just a graveyard for US soldiers and a toilet for trillions of dollars of our taxpayer dollars that results in nothing expect more instability and millions of deaths.  And the world hates the US the more we stick our D in affairs that aren't ours.

Americans need to come to grips with the fact that we have to live in a world the way it is, not the way we want it to be.  I don't give a crap if people making $179 per year blow each other up over religion.  None of our business.

We are slowly watching a Trainwreck happen and the US gets sucked into occupation of Iran. And that's assuming this straw doesn't break the camels back wet US hegemony that's worn thin and Russia, China, NK now get sucked in too.   Trillions in waste and milions of more deaths due to US bombs.  Meanwhile, US infrastructure is falling behind the 1st world by 80 years, we don't have healthcare, education is unaffordable, people can't afford to have kids, and we are being overwhelmed by an immigration crisis.

US always has its priorities messed up, but at least all the swamp rats and their defense contracting companies in DC will get paid trillions while our people die of diabetes because they can't afford medication. [/quote]
Exactly. Funny how no one seems to question why US soldiers were in Jordan in the first place. [/quote]

US forces at the outpost are there as part of an advise-and-assist mission with Jordan.

CENTCOM said later Sunday that “there are approximately 350 U.S. Army and Air Force personnel deployed to the base, conducting a number of key support functions, including support to the coalition for the lasting defeat of ISIS.”

Central Command said approximately 350 U.S. Army and Air Force personnel were deployed to the base. The three who were killed and most of the wounded were Army soldiers, according to several U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to give details not yet made public.

The small installation, which Jordan does not publicly disclose, includes U.S. engineering, aviation, logistics and security troops. Austin said the troops were deployed there “to work for the lasting defeat of ISIS.” Three officials said the drone struck near the troops’ sleeping quarters, which they said explained the high casualty count.
