The Pentagon released the names of the three soldiers who were killed in Jordan after a drone struck a base near the border with Syria.

The service members were identified as Sgt. William Jerome Rivers, 46, of Carrollton, Georgia; Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, of Waycross, Georgia; and Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett, 23, of Savannah, Georgia.

President Joe Biden said the troops were killed by “radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq" and an investigation has been launched into the incident.


Rest easy Soldiers condolences to their loved ones, fellow service members, and friends. WWNF

Since they’re all from Georgia, were they part of a National Guard unit from GA?

RIP soldiers.

Never mind, saw above answer.

Thanks. Figured either Guard or Reserve since they were all from GA.

Caught my eye too before I posted, researched more. Optics aren’t good regardless but this cannot be good for Biden. As of the presser today he hasn’t spoke to the families on the phone. There’s no reason why he shouldn’t have already called after next of kin was notified.

Want to see the soldiers that allowed the drone into the base, just to see if it’s what I think……it was human era, according to the release….

Prayers for the fallen, wounded and their families.

Heard on the radio Kirby said there were no plans for *Biden to attend their return.

Also heard that the drone was known incoming but was mistaken for one of ours coming home from a mission.
Military guys, is this possible? I thought BS excuse or someone on duty fricked up and that is not good.

Should we not know our incoming from other incoming?

Didn't we have the ability to recognize enemy from friendly as far back as Desert Storm?
