Army survivors of deadly attack in Kuwait dispute Pentagon's account, say unit "was unprepared" to defend itself
Survivors of the deadliest Iranian attack on U.S. forces since the war began have disputed the Pentagon's description of events and said their unit in Kuwait was left dangerously exposed when six service members were killed and more than 20 wounded.
Speaking publicly for the first time, members of the targeted unit offered CBS News a detailed account of the attack and its harrowing aftermath from the perspective of those on the ground.
The members CBS News spoke to disputed the description of events from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who described the drone as a "squirter" in that it squirted through the defenses of a fortified unit inside Kuwait.
"Painting a picture that 'one squeaked through' is a falsehood," one of the injured soldiers told CBS News. "I want people to know the unit
was unprepared to provide any defense for itself. It was not a fortified position."

Who would have thought that someone who lies for a living wouldn't use this "gift" to spin every failed mission that he commanded?

Any-and-all attackers will surely flee, hands over ears.

I dont think anyone ever figured out who it was who ran that. It was beyond brilliantly funny.

You can measure how well the Iran special purpose operation is going by how far US Navy vessels are from the Gulf. If things are going so swimmingly for us then why arent are major Navy vessels cruising around in the Gulf or Red Sea for that matter? Maybe theyre more vulnerable to Iran and its aligned militias than were being told.

(12,704 posts)Aside from faking the number of dead, he has to be not telling the families about their dead soldiers. But eventually even MAGA will start wondering why they have heard nothing from their children.
Then it will start coming out, in about 3 to 6 months.
And...has anyone heard from the rescued pilots??? I don't believe they were ever rescued. Their parents probably don't know or were told they had to keep it secret...you know for national security. Meaning covering pedo Trump's butt.
