that every time Iran kills an American soldier,  they will pay for that killing many times over! 

Since the war began on Feb. 28, 18 U.S. service members have been killed.

Trump on Tuesday said that while almost all the incoming fire in Jordan was stopped, some made it through.

 They did slip something through in Jordan,  he said.  If we had other operators, you know, it would have not happened, unfortunately. 

He went on:  We've stopped almost everything, but when you let other people do your job with the United States - we let other people do the job - and sometimes it doesn't work out so well. 

Trump did not elaborate on his comments, and it was not immediately clear who Trump was saying was responsible for protecting U.S. forces in Jordan.

Trump has attended two previous dignified transfers since the outset of the war, most recently in March. During his first term, he described the ritual as  the toughest thing I have to do  as president.

During the ritual, transfer cases draped with the American flag and holding the remains of the fallen soldiers are carried from the military aircraft that transported them to an awaiting vehicle to take them to the mortuary facility at the base. There, the service members are prepared for their final resting place.
