King Abdullah also runs a country that allows murderers to slaughter American soliders and then blame the soldiers for their own deaths. 3 Green Berets will never receive the justice they deserve under that coward.

Then prince now king also participated in skating events under a pseudonym that everybody kinda knew anyway.

Doesn't the King of Jordan fly occasionally for Royal Jordanian?
I think his dad did.
Present King Abdullah flew against ISIS



I'll rate that a little higher on the BA-scale then the occasional passenger flight that 'nobody knows about'.

Let's just keep this on a guy who wanted to fly airplanes, and was able to, instead of being distracted by who his parents were.

That's cool. Some people want to do this job in spite of what it's become for some of us. Good for him.
At the end of the day, I don't do this job for money or status.

Lighten up. Stuff happens, the government did not order the guard to do that, the guard was not even a terrorist. It was a colossal screwup. Tensions in the region are so high that this sort of thing is unfortunately inevitable.
