First U.S. Troops Killed in the Middle East
January 28, 2024
The Pentagon has confirmed that the first U.S. troops were killed in the Middle East since the start of the Israel–Hamas conflict. They were killed in a drone attack on a small U.S. base in Jordan. Only two questions area important: Why is there a U.S. base in Jordan and what are U.S. troops doing in Jordan? All U.S. foreign bases should be closed and all troops should be brought home. There is no other sane and moral U.S. foreign policy.
