One of the American soldiers killed in suicide drone strike on a US base in Jordan has been identified as Specialist Kennedy Ladon Sanders.
The drone attack late Saturday impacted a base in the northeast part of the country known as Tower 22 near the Syria border, and resulted in three deaths and at least 34 other injuries.
Family members of the 24-year-old Waycross, Georgia native confirmed Sanders was one of the soldiers killed in the attack, reported Fox 5 Atlanta. The other two have not yet been identified.

Two women, apparently, of the three killed. Hard to say from "Kennedy Ladon" as first name and middle name, but they said "she".
These are black women who were choosing to get some skills and training and make their lives better, and we need as many of them as the country can have. It is a shame to lose anyone, but especially folks who are working to succeed, making good choices in life, and avoiding the many bad choices in front of them.
RIP, soldiers. Many of us mourn your passing.

This is puzzling. Joe has been their best friend. With money and weapons. They are helping Trump, who will make life miserable for them..

God bless and keep all these brave soldiers.
Black lives DO matter - - to us - - when they're devoted patriots.

This is just so sad. What are our troops doing there? Biden's foreign policy has been a disaster, just like his domestic policy.

Poorly written article. From what I can make out, two of those killed were young women. Prayers to their families, they will grieve for the rest of their lives.

I have nothing but sympathy for their families, and I have remorse for any dead soldier.
But reporting that 2 of these soldiers were women is not germane to their deaths.
There are 3 American soldiers dead. Dead because Iran is sponsoring fighting and supplying the weapons for their deaths.
If we place women in the foxhole ,in combat or dangerous places they will be in harms way the same way the men are.
IMO women should not be in such places, but it's todays world and they ARE there.
Saying that 2 women are dead does not make the deaths of these soldiers any worse.
Women who serve in the military in combat are soldiers just like any other soldiers.

Heartbreaking. She's the same age as my daughter, who was active duty Marine (now reserve) until this past year. They shouldn't even be there. And Iran shouldn't have that stupid money we gave them to do this kind of garbage! Good job, Joe, Blinken, Austin, et al.

Why is there an outpost of U.S. military there to begin with? What is the objective or purpose of that outpost? Are these people there to act as targets? Was an outpost placed there to deter ISIS?

I can already hear Biden’s crew planning the Dover Air Force Base ceremony ( on a Friday of course so that he can saunter off to his beach house for a weekend retreat) and then also taking notice that at least 2 of the soldiers were Black women so that he can comfort Black families before the cameras instead of checking his watch like he did at Dover for the 13 Marines he got killed in his poorly executed withdrawal from Afghanistan.
An absolutely terrible man.

Such beautiful young people.
When asked about the deaths of the Afghans who fell from the transport planes in their desperate attempt to escape, Big Bidet said “that was three days ago!”
I suppose that’s his response to these soldiers’ deaths. He’s gotta get some ice cream and hit the beach you know.

In fact all three of the unfortunate American soldiers that were killed in that attack were not in Biden's and the leftist and socialist Democrat political terms just ordinary American soldiers, all three were Black American soldiers, who are certainly politically favored by Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats over just plain non minority American soldiers. The White House and the Pentagon are claiming that the reason that the attack was successful was that the enemy drone was mixed up with an American drone that was returning to its base. They think that the American people are stupid claiming that, because an enemy drone flying towards that base and an American drone flying towards that same base at the sometime equates to two different drones. If one drone was an American drone and the other drone could not be identified, you would think that the unidentified drone would have been shot down if there were effective anti-missile and artillery rocket defenses covering the base manned by competent personnel, especially since the enemy had already mounted over 150 similar attacks targeting US forces in that area.
There is little doubt that the White House and the Pentagon are trying to protect themselves from blame during the aftermath of that attack, and have already tried to shift the blame to some deployed US Army ground unit in keeping with the old adage that "poop rolls down hill". Watch for Biden to make a showing when the dead soldiers are returned to the USA at Dover, Delaware and probably by attending their funerals in Georgia.

They show pictures of all three, included are pics of both admirable and honorable young ladies.
I'm curious if the "On the street" outrage will be as great for these three as it was for Breonna Taylor..

First of all, it's not a good idea to send females to the Middle East because capture is worse for them. Given that we have learned nothing since GWB started the second Iraq war, I don't see our situation getting any better over there. Get everybody out and give the weapons to Israel, who has a better military than we do.

When her body arrives at Dover, her parents should ask Biden why he gives money to the people who killed their daughter.
