Prior to the Mother of all Bombs was dropped in Afghanistan, Staff Sgt. Mark De Alencar was targeted and killed in Afghanistan on Monday. But the media didn’t care. They were too busy replaying the United Airlines video over and over and over again. There wasn’t one media report on Staff Sgt. Mark De Alencar being killed by ISIS, not even from Fox News until today. The Mother of All bombs which destroyed ISIS tunnels and caves may even be a part of a response to ISIS for killing one of our fine service men.
