RIP: US servicemen and women killed in Iran war

[Anonymous]

I am so sad about this. Rest in Peace.

Their lives ended for what?? For what? I don’t get it. They weren’t defending Freedom. They weren’t defending our Territory. They weren’t protecting us from a mortal threat. We were under no threat from Iran.

Trump just puts them out there and knows full well they’re going to get killed.

What a handsome dude. I’m so sorry, and i hope we can repay the French who are more loyal than we deserve. Prayers to his loved ones.

U.S. Military Names 6 Service Members Killed in Crash of Refueling Tanker in Iraq
The crew members had been part of the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran, bringing the death toll of American service members in the conflict to at least 13.
The Pentagon on Saturday identified the six United States service members who died this week when a refueling aircraft crashed in Iraq.

The service members were Maj. John A. Klinner, 33, of Auburn, Ala.; Capt. Ariana G. Savino, 31, of Covington, Wash.; Tech. Sgt. Ashley B. Pruitt, 34, of Bardstown, Ky.; Capt. Seth R. Koval, 38, of Mooresville, Ind.; Capt. Curtis J. Angst, 30, of Wilmington, Ohio; and Tech. Sgt. Tyler H. Simmons, 28, of Columbus, Ohio.

U.S. Central Command had stated that the aircraft crashed after an incident involving another plane, which landed safely. The crash, which happened Thursday in western Iraq, was not a result of hostile or friendly fire, the Central Command said.

Three of the service members — Major Klinner, Captain Savino and Sergeant Pruitt — were assigned to the Sixth Air Refueling Wing at the MacDill Air Force Base.

Major Klinner was a husband and father to 7 month-old-twins, a boy and a girl, and a 2-year-old son, according to Mr. Klinner’s brother-in-law, James Harrill. Mr. Harrill said Mr. Klinner had been deployed to the Middle East for less than a week before his death and was nearing the end of his military career.

The American bodies are mounting up. And I still have no idea why they're fighting there in the first place.

They're all so young. President BoneSpurs Trump puts them in harm's way, and doesn't give a damn about what happens to them.

This is OP. Woke up this morning and came to this thread to add some names/photos and saw that several of you had already done so. I actually am tearing up. Thank you all for reading and adding to this thread.

MAGA is staying classy as usual, using pictures of Trump wearing a baseball cap at dignified transfer as a fundraising prop.
