Everyone is talking about the American soldiers killed in Jordan. But I don’t know why they were there to begin with.

    The Jordanian military has quite a bit of U.S. military equipment like F-16’s and Blackhawks.

    They also have 3000 troops stationed. Mainly for support roles and cooperative efforts.

    Jordan is a long term ally of the U.S. and honestly not a bad spot to visit if you have a chance. I’ve been there probably a dozen times on business.

      I’ve always wanted to see Petra in person, definitely some beautiful and historical scenery there.

      It’s an amazing country to visit. Beautiful sights, amazing food, lovely people. Of course there are tourist traps and scams like everywhere else, but also some of the most generous and hospitable people I have ever met. I can’t wait to go back honestly.
