  1. Eternal memory 🕯 of the dead soldiers. Condolences to the families.🙏

  2. Next time maybe don't read it right from a card and maybe try to pretend you have some feeling about it. This is shameful.

  3. Maybe our soldiers shouldn’t be in their country! War, hoo, Good God what is it good for,, absolutely nothing!

  4. This was the plane all along to drag the United States into war

  5. My country is using our soldiers as bait to get us into another war.

  6. Location is incorrect. They were not in Jordon. USA is trying to lure Iran into the war.

  7. WELL TO USA.. GET OUT OF SYRIA AND JORDAN… MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS UNLESS TRUMP SAYS OTHERWISE.
    PEACE FROM REPUBLICAN DENMARK
    G❤ TRUMP

  8. Don't believe any of the lies coming from these people. Do your research, Those soldiers died over the border
    Biden didn't have the balls to come out and tell the people it was his fault those soldiers died.

  9. Let's see, who sold iran drones?.oh yeah, Barack Obama himself…

  10. All planned and orchestrated!

  11. Great job and being a brainless pawn reading a script

  12. Who’s that woman, Egyptian mummy!! Wow🤩

  13. So sad
    They should have stayed home

  14. Bidet and his minions have much blood on their hands.

  15. The entire department of defense couldn't care less.

  16. When these service members are brought home… will Joe Biden need to check his watch?

  17. "Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal"

  18. Should’ve stayed home and mind your own business

  19. C'MON BIDEN!!!! When are you going to do ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING?!😢

  20. Women shouldn't be dying on the front lines. It's wrong.

  21. Well what were they doing in a foreign country? That's happens when you attack other countries. They fight back….😮

  22. It followed a US drone into the base and they thought it theirs.

  23. Im truly saddened by this – but what international coalition are they referring to and where are they?

  24. Soldiers killed in a foreign soil, just cause rich people paid polititians to send soldiers to watch over rich people interest… Warmongers

  25. Why do we have national guard engineers, fighting battle hardened Isis soldiers such a farce load of crap should not even be there. I’m sure if we look closely. It’s probably one of our drones that we gave to the enemy shame shame shame

  26. Of course the government starts praying as soon as military members pass away but they’re fine with taking “God” out of the pledge allegiance at school. What’s ironic is many of the top dawgs in the military are Christian conservative people. I’d like to try to see a left wing, atheist, anti 2nd amendment, intellectual try to explain why some of the most highly evolved, prestigious, humans who go out of their way to defend the country, have such a high affinity for Christian, conservative, libertarian beliefs 🤷‍♂️

  27. And why are we in Jordan near the Syrian boarder???
