WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon says it has recovered additional remains of Army Sgt. La David Johnson, who was among four U.S. soldiers killed in the African nation of Niger in October.

Bodies of three of the soldiers were found the same day they were ambushed; Johnson’s body was found two days later. The Pentagon said Tuesday that a military investigation team found additional remains of Johnson on Nov. 12 at the site where his body had been recovered a month earlier.

The Armed Forces Medical Examiner positively identified the additional remains as those of Johnson, and family members were notified.

The Pentagon did not provide details about the additional remains or indicate how the discovery might advance the overall investigation, which is expected to be finished in January.

  1. And yet, I saw just this morning a bumper sticker with the Obama campaign logo and these words: “Benghazi. He left them there to die.” Why there have been no consequences for 45 or the GOP Inquisition over this horrific event in Niger, I have no earthly idea.

  2. What this woman and her children have gone through after giving their husband/father to this country is a fucking crime. Trump’s outrageous behavior surrounding her mourning shows a lack of empathy that is just subhuman.

    Don’t be silly. Obama is black, a secret Muslim, and enslaves children in “special” pizzarias. 45 is a beacon of American exceptionalism to be admired by all. :confused:

  4. On the day they announced his casket would be closed I sadly assumed it was because he was beheaded.

  5. That’s what I thought too when they said “additional body part” :unamused:
