General, i think thats highly inappropriate. It is appropriate to question the general. It was when we questioned him last night and it still is tonight. Questioning is fair. But kellys own boss, the man hes trying to defend in this whole controversy over a call to the family of a soldier killed in the niger ambush .

Flags across the state are flying at half staff today as a sign of respect. The 25 year old was killed during an ambush attack in niger. The incident has prompted a deluge of questions over the past week. A formal investigation is under way after reports johnsons body was found nearly a mile from the three other troops killed. Many civilians are now asking why where these troops in niger in the first place. U. S. Senator Lindsey Graham issuing this stark prediction. The war is headed to africa.
