When I created this post, it was to recognize, honor, and remember those killed and wounded in the drone attack. On SAF, we often have posts of remembrance after a training accident or other service-related deaths. I did not intend to start a political discourse.
In rereading my post, I can see how that might have been missed. I am sorry for that.
There is a lot of ground to cover on the politics of it all and as the posts above show it is complex. But let's remember the grunt on the ground who isn't creating policy or strategic policy but is asked to carry it out.
"In a press release Monday, the Defense Department said Sgt. William Jerome Rivers, 46, of Carrollton, Georgia; Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, of Waycross, Georgia and Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett, 23, of Savannah, Georgia, died Jan. 28, 2024, in Jordan." (CBS News)
RIP soldiers.
