Trumps' first military death is in Yemen - the first US military death in Yemen. Trump has expanded the US role from drone strikes, logistics and support, to actual ground combat operations.

One SEAL Team 6 commando dead, 5 injured and an Osprey damaged (hard landing) and intentionally destroyed by American airstrikes.

I don't know if I would I refer to this as ground combat. This is a very specific target for intelligence, combat is a consequence of that mission. Furthermore these types of missions were carried out under Obama. A lot of these things you are never going to hear about.

Nevertheless the combat as a result of the mission resulted in deaths...

...and while absolutely NO ONE on the left was counting the deaths that occurred under President Obama's Administration, because they DIDN'T CARE... you can damn well bet these no job having, anti-everything that isn't leftist, socialist or progressive whiners will have an amazingly accurate tally of the military who dies under President Trump's watch.

I swear we need a new tax to finance building these people a bunch of "safe spaces" where they can bawl about Hillary having lost the election to a supposed "Cheetos head" (I swear I've seen him called this), the United State's new President, Donald Trump.

Anything factual supporting that claim?

Default U.S. service member killed, 3 wounded in surprise Yemen raid (first on Trump's watch)

RIP soldier.

14 Al Qaeda militants, as well as 3 senior officials of Al Qaeda, were eliminated.

Good job to them and to President Trump for approving this. None of this drone nonsense that's been going on for the past decade.

A U.S. military service member was killed Sunday during a raid against al Qaeda militants in central Yemen that also left nearly 30 others dead, including women and children. The loss of the service member is the first-known combat death of a member of the U.S. military under President Donald Trump.

“Americans are saddened this morning with news that a life of a heroic service member has been taken in our fight against the evil of radical Islamic terrorism,” Trump said in a statement.

CBS News correspondent David Martin confirms the raid, carried out by Navy SEAL Team 6, was approved by Mr. Trump.

Are we restarting the military death count that we had under Bush and suspended during Obama's reign?

I offer the government to send the young liberals in America a sight seeing trip to Yemen and Somalia and see what the soldiers are dealing with before they go out and protest over nonsense.

Yeah...I don't know who they killed so I don't know whether those were Al Qaeda members or not. And even if they were...so! Another 14 will spring up from some manhole cover.

Senior officials of Al Qaeda? Like who? Pfffft...this chasing ghosts stuff is getting old. For all I know, they shot up some wedding and had a gun battle with the security guards.

Trump...get our people the hell outta the Middle East...PLEASE.
