    US special forces films moment he and 3 soldiers were killed in an ambush by ISIS near Niger

    This will not stay up long. It is graphic and heartbreaking.

    US soldier films moment he and three soldiers were killed in an ambush by ISIS near Niger



    On October 4 2017, three US special forces troops (service branch unknown but likely army)
    were gunned down during a well-executed ambush by Islamic State-affiliated terrorists in western Africa.

    ISIS militants achieved full surprise over their American opponents on the point of contact,
    getting the jump on the small special forces fire team during the earliest phase of the clashes.

    Possibly due to the fact it was outnumbered and lacked fire support (including basic weapons like mortars),
    the US special forces unit was never able to regain any kind of tactical initiative.

    As shown in the video below, the eventual death of the first US operative prompted a rout of the remaining two soldiers
    who were eventually hunted down and killed.

    It appears that efforts to call for helicopter evacuation (using Red smoke) were carried out in vain.

    Bring them home.

    Must feel pretty sucky to take your last breath in that situation with the world superpower completely turned its back on you.

    If this was done right the US would have been in and out with all necessary resources available. Instead it’s one of how many places the us is involved in and who even knows why?
