Horrific. My colleagues and comrades. May your lives be spared this catastrophe of policy not of your making.
For those missing the significance of this: after 17 yrs of asymmetric conflict & attacks - US forces now under attack by CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS OF WAR. Our casualty calculations are not based on this scenario. As in, we're unprepared for scale of catastrophe that may be unleashed.
Also no doubt our Iraqi colleagues and allies are likely to pay the highest price with these attacks. They do not deserve this.
No casualties are welcome, not of US forces, not our allies. Ever. Families are stricken with worry right now. Injury & death change families forever. @FoxNews this is reprehensible.
@FoxNews Also ICYMI: these conflicts are still authorized by the 2002 #AUMF. We now have troops entering service who were born in 2002. Shouldn't Congress take back its Constitutional war powers? Call your Rep & Senators.
@FoxNews Um, all is not well. But hoping for deescalation.
