An insurgent attack hit an Iraqi airbase, killing a foreign contractor and injuring 5 other Personnel. The attack happened in the Iraq- Kurdistan province in Northern Iraq. Iraqi President Barham Saleh tweeted that the attack marked a "dangerous escalation and a criminal terrorist act". Another US official said the projectiles were 107 mm rockets, fired around eight kilometres (five miles) west of Arbil. The attack was claimed online by a shadowy group calling itself "Awliyaa al-Dam," or "Guardians of Blood." This is the first attack on an Western military base in more than 2 months & represents increasing instability within the region.

You do recall last year that twice bases in Iraq were hit and Trump did nothing. Remember when a bunch of troops got TBIs and he called them "headaches?" Please stop acting like Trump did anything super awesome for the troops. Or even cared.
No US casualties? Not sure why we need to do anything.

I have read that one of every three days Trump was President he was on his way to play golf, playing golf, or coming back. A far cry from President Bush (the son) who refused to play golf while our servicemen were in combat.

LTC (Join to see) - With our current political leaders, I believe they won't do anything to stop this type of thing from happening... I sure would like to seem them exhibit some backbone when these incidents occur!

Our former political leader didn’t do much to stop these type of things from happening. I wish they had exhibited some backbone when those incidents occurred.
However, we agree. Something must be done!
