re: Why was the Jordan border drone attack successful?

That's a question too. Doesn't detract from the level of incompetence here.

It was a small outpost. The real question is why are our troops in an outpost in Jordan.

There are a number of small outposts over there. I guess our military and government thinks these outposts are in the interest of national security.

I suspect you don't have a clue about that. It's over your pay grade so to speak.

You can find explanations as to why these outposts are there. It's not hard to find. Do some research. Four letters as a clue: ISIS.
