Two more U.S. service members have died as part of Operation Epic Fury against Iran, raising the toll to six as of 4 p.m. ET Monday, U.S. Central Command said. “U.S. forces recently recovered the remains of two previously unaccounted for service members from a facility that was struck during Iran’s initial attacks in the region,” CENTCOM said in a post on X. The identities of the service members are being withheld until next of kin can be notified.

How will being used like this affect the epidemic of veteran suicides I wonder?

How can we even sleep at night? oh right, we can't.

I just feel like apologizing to every single person in uniform.

Sometimes I think about what my Granddad and my Dad would have to say about this catastrophe of an administration

Sending my aloha to all our folks in uniform and a prayer we can recover. Taking inspiration from the Ukrainians, who really will never give up.
