The bodies of three US Army Special Forces operatives will arrive in flag draped caskets tomorrow.

Trump was supposed to have had a plan to whoop ISIS in the 1st 30 days; now, we're losing our own in Central Africa?

A 4th Special Operations soldier was killed in the ambush.

RIP

Neither has Trump acknowledged these four Green Beret's deaths, nor has he offered condolences to their families.

He has, however, played more golf than Obama did during his 8 years in office.

Trump couldn't find Africa on a map. I seriously doubt he had any knowledge of them being there.

I expect he'll show up tomorrow with a marching band and tell the widows and orphans how great it is to meet him and what a good turn out.

US launches investigation into deadly Niger ambush and confusion that followed

The Defense Department is conducting an initial review of the mission in Niger and the ambush by 50 ISIS-affiliated fighters that left four US soldiers dead and two wounded.

Multiple US officials have described to CNN a scene of confusion on the ground during the unexpected firefight. The investigation will be an effort "to get all the facts correct," an administration official familiar with the review told CNN.

The review will aim to determine precisely what happened -- something that is still not clear nearly two weeks after the incident occurred, according to the official.

The comprehensive investigation of the timeline has been ordered by US Africa Command and includes all the military branches and elements of US intelligence agencies that were involved in the mission. Team members who were on the ground are being interviewed about what happened as well as preparations for the mission.
