3 Green Berets killed in Jordan

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/11...dentified.html

First saw this on Yahoo.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/335a946...rs-killed.html

Searched Fox News.

Judging by the photo on CNN and the description on Fox They were 10TH Group attached to 5TH Group.

Thanks for the update. I was afraid this was a new incident until reading the Yahoo link.

And Fuck Jordan.....

Quote:
Speaking at an event in Washington DC earlier Tuesday, family members of the three murdered service members criticized the government of Jordan for initially saying that the US Green Berets were responsible.
"We are told that Jordan is an important ally in the war on terror, a war which I support, but I encourage our president and our administration to take a hard look at our relationship with an ally who would so callously disrespect the sacrifice made by our boys," Brian McEnroe, the father of one of the slain soldiers, said.

What a tragedy. . My thoughts and prayers go out to the 10TH Group and all SF soldiers and their families.

May these brave warriors rest in peace, knowing They will never be forgotten.

May those responsible burn hot in hell for eternity.

For the record, these guys were 5th Group, not 10th.

"The Jordanian Air Force guard opened fire on the second vehicle"

"After closing in on their position, the shooter shot"

FBI investigation is still ongoing, but **** if this is not a deliberate attempt

Rifle + element of surprise vs. side arms in confined space.
I am going to push for more surgical (and fast) pistol marksmanship on the guys I coach from time to time

Jordanian Soldier Convicted in Killing of 3 Green Berets

There's a puppet master in this some place. I'm not smart enough to know where to look, but under a rock for sure.

Need blood in the scuppers over this. Nothing less.
