U.S. Media: Jordan U.S. Military Casualties May Further Weaken Domestic Support for the War

U.S. military casualties in Jordan may further weaken domestic support for the war, according to CNN. According to Jin10, the U.S. military said two U.S. service members stationed in Jordan were killed in action yesterday, and one other service member is missing. The report said the news is likely to further inflame anger among opponents of the war in the United States. In the first stage of the U.S. war against Iran, 13 U.S. service members had already died. A pilot later died in a plane crash, bringing the death toll to 14. The latest casualties would raise the total number of killed U.S. service members to 16 and could even reach 17. The report said this is clearly a very difficult moment for U.S. President Donald Trump, as the American public already broadly opposed the war and the latest deaths are likely to further erode public support.
