Something's Missing

In all the news about the deaths of four soldiers in NIger, victims of the Boco Haram attackers. They talk about the action; why it took so long for air cover to arrive, and how the attackers had more firepower than the American troops. But there has been a glaring fact missing: what happened to the attackers after they managed to kill four of our troops? Did we go in and "clean them out?" Or did we just "get out of there?" Under Obama that would be a serious omission. Under Trump, I wonder. Did he order more troops to go in and clean out those thugs? Probably, and I hope we will be hearing about it, shortly. Another question needs to be answered: why the hell did we send that patrol out so lightly armed? How did a bunch of rag-tag thugs manage to outgun an American military outfit? Were the officers in charge of that operation Obama leftovers? Were they still operating under Obama's silly rules of engagement? Meanwhile, Dumocrats are arguing over an "edited" version of what Trump told a "Gold Star Wife," and his tone of voice when he did it. Something that is really unimportant compared to the questions above. (Just common sense)
