RIP.

And the scumbag who calls himself Commander-in-Chief won’t even admit Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler died in combat with ISIS.

Via NBC News:

Defense officials tell NBC News the American commando killed in a rescue mission in Iraq on Thursday is a 39-year old Delta Force commando, Master Sergeant Joshua Wheeler of Roland, Oklahoma.

Acting on a tip that dozens of ISIS-held hostages were about to be slaughtered, U.S. and Kurdish commandos stormed a prison in northeastern Iraq before dawn Thursday, rescuing the captives in a firefight that ended with an American soldier being shot to death, officials said.

The operation marked the first known instance of American service members battling ISIS fighters on the ground in Iraq under President Obama’s new mission to “train and advise” local forces against the terror group.
