RT is reporting 4 USA soldiers killed and 3 wounded, so far:

I hope trump, when he calls the families of the fallen, doesn’t brag about his wall or how everyone in the fake media hates him.
It’s a deadly shame no one is around to advise the president that words have meaning. If you let the enemy know your plans, they will exploit that information.
I guess that was in one of the missing chapters of the Art of the Deal.
If Trump replies he will blame the fallen and say “They knew what they were getting into”.
Then if the Gold Star families question 5 Deferment Don he will mock them as he has done before.
What is even more sad is the is the Republican Congress will continue to back him.
This must be fake news since the CIC assured us that ISIS had been defeated.
Successfully avoided casualties… Right up until a Twitter “plan” fucked up their ability to do appropriate planning to stay safe.
Thanks for murdering our troops via Twitter.
This is fucking sad.
In the campaign trump said it was bad to let the enemy know our plans. Not long ago he blathered to the whole world that he was pulling out of Syria ASAP thereby pulling the rug from under our Kurdish allies and others in Syrian and emboldening ISIS (they aren’t defeated). So now we have dead and wounded American troops because of trump’s stupidity, ego mania and general lack of planning.
Bless his fragile little tiny handed heart.
It’ll be so much harder for him to call the bereaved families than it will be for them to mourn their loved ones.
(actually he once alluded to exactly that thought)
