La David Johnson. Sgt. La David Johnson After coming under ambush, the US lost contact with four soldiers, and evacuated without them when France sent helicopters. Three of the four were found dead not long thereafter when they returned. Sgt. Johnson was found days later. And locals say Sgt. Johnson was almost certainly alive when the US left, as the body they found had his arms tied up and was shot in the back of the head, suggesting he was caught by militants and ultimately executed. Secretary of Defense James Mattis had previously insisted that this was not possible because the US military never leaves people behind. Questions continue to grow about the Pentagons story, but the Pentagon says their own investigation is still ongoing, and is urging patience until they finalize it, suggesting that for now everything theyve said so far is little more than a bunch of trial balloons to see what the public will buy.

Will someone tell me why the US military is there and in 1,000 other overseas countries??????
Doing what we have been doing since 1945, maintaining some semblance of law and order world wide.
The U.S. has become the World Policeman. Sad as it may seem, it is the truth. We really need to stop this nonsense before it provokes a real war. ;)
What if?????? Your view of what would transpire if the US withdrew from the world scene? Remember, geo/politics/history say a power vacuum cannot exist.
