4 Killed in Niger Ambush but What About the Big Picture?

This is a good article. Less investigate every one of these deaths and more to come. Get the FBI involved. I mean we are doing it for 4 killed in an ambush in Niger. All these deaths must be resolved and not being colored blind to the fact. Your comments are welcome. Let's get our priorities straight and not what gets an audience at the time. All these men must be honored with dignity, and it is a private and personal thing to these families, not just 1 or 4. The media in this country does not look at the whole picture most of the time. 

OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) - This campaign includes casualties that occurred between October 7, 2001 and December 31, 2014.

OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) - OIF includes casualties that occurred in Iraq starting March 19, 2003.  On August 31, 2010, President Obama announced that the American combat mission in Iraq had ended. To date there are 4,424 U.S. deaths and 31,954 wounded in this current military operation. 
OPERATION NEW DAWN (OND) - OND includes casualties that occurred between September 1, 2010, and December 15, 2011. To date there are 73 U.S. deaths and 295 wounded in this current military operation.
