In a tragic turn of events, three United States service members were killed and several more injured in an attack on a military facility in Jordan. The Department of Defense has released the names of the fallen soldiers as Sergeant William Rivers, Specialist Kennedy Sanders, and Specialist Breonna Moffitt. The loss of these brave young individuals has left the nation mourning and questioning the effectiveness of the Defense Department's actions thus far.
Defense Department Press Secretary Major General Pat Ryder expressed his condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers and emphasized the inherent risks that come with wearing a military uniform. He reiterated that the primary objective in the region is to focus on the lasting defeat of ISIS, a terrorist group that wrought havoc a decade ago. The Department of Defense remains committed to protecting its forces and responding to attacks in a timely and appropriate manner.
