  1. And to think it's her own ppl who refuse to stand for the national anthem or show any respect towards our troops!

  2. So sorry! I can’t help but blame Biden for this mess. But he’ll call the families and talk about himself losing a child and then go on another vacation. Close the damn border, Mr Biden, before you go on another vacation!

  3. You should hear about the number of US drone attacks on Yemen. It’s outrageous. Sorry for her loss. The US does dirty business and is harming alot of Arabs

  11. Oh here we go. This obviously sad if it’s true, but America is the enemy out there, and soldiers know the risks……these clips are all to get the populations to hate, and want to go to war……be honest, if there were ISIS soldiers on the border of Mexico and the USA, would America do the same????
