GOPDD: The First American Has Now Been Killed In The Fight Against ISIS

By clyde - Oct 23, 2015

The Department of Defense has confirmed that an American has been killed in action while fighting ISIS in Iraq. The first American killed in the fight against ISIS…. THIS is what we know of the events leading up to this soldiers sacrifice for his country!

Previously, the military’s role in Iraq has been limited to training and assisting Iraqi forces only. But dozens of special forces troops joined with Kurdish peshmerga fighters after being tipped off that dozens of hostages were facing a mass execution. American troops provided helicopter support, and then went with Iraqi troops to the compound, where over 70 hostages were rescued.
