and the USA pulled out of an agreement (something like that) and Chad then pulled it's military out of Niger and a week later Isil ambushed the vehicle that the 4 soldiers were in. USA sent in contractors to secure the bodies but for some reason forgot, left behind, ???, the body of La David Johnson and therefore Niger's military found his body. t-rump didn't even know his name.
