Why aren't these Saudi military flight students trained in their own country?

Hmmm feels weird treating a group like that. I wouldn't have guessed so many were being trained. A pretty serious loss for them. And not a sign of trust. Which is incongruent with how Trump has been acting toward Saudi Arabia. Notably sending troops over there. Hes been friendly.

Suspend. They should put them on a very slow moving ship home. I heard the Navy put the shooter in a anger management class prior to him murdering out military personnel. How Fn stupid is that. They should have put him on a boat home as well. Enough with this soft pillow crap

Ya think

American people, be careful! China Russia Iran and North Korea are new Nazi! They all support national terrorism and thus the biggest enemy of the free world now. Saudi is a just only a pie.

Don't tell Mr Trump the Vain one.

Good, now escort them to the airport and send them on their way.

dmarserl Good.

SUSPENDED Send them all home now. No further training on US (not 'us', Mr. President) soil.

Uh......there's 300 Saudi flight students training in the US? What the actual fuck?

Saudi's, murders of 3000 on 9/11 and DONNIEBOYS FRIENDS. All disgusting excuses for humans.

I'm sure trump will overturn this being he's friends with the Saudi Prince of Murder.

So glad to hear this. They need to send them home.

300? Wow!

They already seem adept at taking off and crashing airliners into buildings. Perhaps teaching them to fly military aircraft might be a bit foolhardy. Just my opinion.

Send them home.

About time.

Why wasn't this done, oh I don't know... post-9/11, say?

Prayers! 🇺🇸✅🙏🏻👈🏻

How long before POTUS pardons?

Oh, Trump is going to be so pissed! (these are his oil buddies!)

Did we forget about 9-11 already?

Don’t even train those fucks

Jesus Christ these people are behind 9/11 and we train their pilots for them?!? This is why the military are all special education HS drop outs

EXPEL THEM

Navy has suspended flight training for more than 300 Saudi military flight students in the wake of the Pensacola shootings.😮😀😎💋👠🚀✈️

What took them so long?

Why are Saudi’s even allowed to flight train in the US? Have people forgotten about 9/11

Bit l8.

WTH were they there in the first place?

the fat coward is going to get mad when the saudis pull his funding

Didn’t the 9/11 bombers learn to fly in Florida as well.

(Crap!) saying prayers 🇺🇸🙏🏻
