Yes, you heard that right, Jordan.
Supposedly one of our closer 'allies' over there in the Middle East.
And these three were Special Forces soldiers (Green Berets) based out of Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, the best of the best of the Army.
What an unbelievable waste, we need to get our military out of that region and let them fight their own mess.

Three American military trainers assigned to help upgrade Jordan’s armed forces were shot to death on Friday at a Jordanian Air Force base, an alarming confrontation that raised questions about the relationship between two longtime allies.
The Jordanian military said the trainers failed to stop as they approached a gate at the air base in the southern part of the country, and the Pentagon said it was examining the circumstances of the episode. It came a year almost to the day after a Jordanian police captain killed two American contractors in a rampage at a training facility.
A Jordanian military official, who declined to be identified discussing a matter that is now under investigation, said the trainers had tried to enter the base in a vehicle without heeding the orders of guards at the gate to stop.
