Help me here, how many active duty US military have died since 1/20/17?

I count 6 (as of 10/17/17).
1-CPO Owens, Yemen raid 29 Jan17
2-Navy SEAL Sr.Chief Spec Warfare Op Milliken, Somalia 5 May17
3 to 6-Staff Sgt Black, Staff Sgt J.Johnson, Staff Sgt Wright, Sgt L.Johnson, Niger 10/4/17.

Were there more? I tried a google search(US active duty troops who have died since 1/20/17).


My general point is....that conversation with Mrs Johnson shouldn't have been his first military condolence call. His staff had time to create a script for that.

Ooh, the media is holding him responsible for being tactless.
