They could’ve simply stayed in the US and not get blown up by drone strike. But we all make mistakes. Hopefully they will learn from this and avoid it next time.

Don't want troops dying in the middle east?

Don't put them in the middle east. Simple shrug-outta-hecks

Their sacrifice helps to protect Joe Biden's ongoing genocide against children. Also, I would have survived. Just saying. I would have dodged.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

When you see the danger indicator you just do a dodge roll for the iframes skill issue

[-] oktherebuddy@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

the woke military makes them carry so many books listing all the genders that they can only fatroll for bad iframes now

The hurtbox0 for regular suicide drones is only 7 frames but the red suicide drone's hurtbox lasts for 11 frames so you need an Adp stat of at least 19 to avoid taking damage.

How is getting blown up by a drone real? Just move away 😂🤣

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

Swerve left, jump right, backwards kick. Bam I saved all those lives. Everyone cheers. We go back to killin' those kids.

The only two countries that have semen extraction technology are Israel and China. The US is falling behind in everything which is why it’ll never win WWIII

[-] davel@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

It’s hours later and NATO media still seem to insist that this occurred in Jordan 🤷

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

They are wanting to use the phrase "The King of Jordan invited us" and the other phrase if they are caught is "but but the Kurds and ISIS!".

They totally bank on collective amensia and ignorance.

The "well this wouldn't have happened under Trump" MAGA crowd half forgot Trump refused to remove the troops from Syria and directly said we were there for the oil. Nearly all of the MAGA crowd wants us to militarize the southern border and start stacking other dead brown people over there.

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

It’s because the neocons want to use this as casus belli for striking Iran, and illegal US bases in Syria are valid targets according to international law, whereas the bases in Jordan aren’t illegal

[-] What_Religion_R_They@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

Shall respond.. yeah bitch get tf out that's how you respond

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Looks like it's a base called Al-Tanf in Syria actually.

And this makes me think those rumours that US troops are about to be pulled out of Syria entirely might be true @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net

Three American soldiers killed in a drone strike

Skill issue.

Attacks on US military bases are particularly dangerous due to the large quantities of ketamine that are stored there.

Iran denies involvement in drone attack that killed 3 US troops in Jordan

As we have clearly stated before, the resistance groups in the region are responding [to] the war crimes and genocide of the child-killing Zionist regime and… they do not take orders from the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Nasser Kanaani was quoted saying by IRNA on Monday.

“These groups decide and act based on their own principles and priorities as well as the interests of their country and people.”

Kanaani said claims of Iranian involvement were motivated by “specific political goals to reverse the realities of the region” and were “influenced by third parties, including the child-killing Zionist regime”.

Update:

A Jordanian government spokesman told state TV that the militants targeted a different base, outside Jordanian territory.

By AFP - Agence France Presse

Jordan said Sunday a drone attack that killed three US troops did not occur on its territory as Washington reported earlier, but at an army base in Syria near the border.

Government spokesman Muhannad Mubaidin said the "attack that targeted the American forces did not happen in Jordan... It targeted Al-Tanf base in Syria", where US forces are deployed as part of an international anti-jihadist coalition.

Does anyone else remember that time Obama went to Congress to get authorization to do war shit in Syria? Congress said no and hasn't voted on it since as far as I know and we're occupying part of it now lol.

Three military affiliated Americans dead in militia involved droning, claims Democrat Party sources

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Three American service members were found dead in a drone involved strike in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border, President Joe Biden claimed in a statement Sunday. Joe Biden is affiliated with the American Democrat Party, the same group responsible for the many deaths of Vietnam War launched on 3/8/65. The group attributed the strike to Iran-backed militia groups. The AP has not verified these claims

pshh only 3? Those are rookie numbers.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

the real number is probably double digits, but they will dribble the deaths out slowly to manage the PR. 34 "injured"

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

America lies out of their teeth on troop casualty numbers. There’s no way that 118+ attacks on US bases in Syria and Iraq had 0 deaths, it’s literally not possible. They are hiding deaths in Syria because they aren’t supposed to be there and they are obviously embedded with Al Nusra Front
