Kegsbreath Lied About The 6 US Soldiers Killed By A Drone In Kuwait

Kegsbreath said that an Iranian drone got lucky and made its way through cracks in a heavily fortified structure, that was a bald face lie.

First of all this unit was moved, not further away from Iran, closer to Iran. 2nd of all, one of the soldiers at this unit saw an intelligence report that their tin building was a target.

The building was surrounded by concrete barriers, the building itself was a tin shack with zero protection from above. One of the soldiers from the unit when asked about the degree of protection the building provided, his answer was, none.

The incompetence of Kegsbreath is astounding, but his lies are reasons for a court martial.

In Trump's first term their were a few (single digits) truth tellers.

In Trump's second term he has all his minions willingly aiding and abetting him.

They lie as easily as they breathe.

than the truth. It's common knowledge to the sane that shithole and the republican party don't give a rat's ass about anything while they enrich themselves while holding on to power.

Historical Precedents
Vietnam War (Pentagon Papers): In 1971, leaked documents revealed that the U.S. government had systematically lied about military progress and the extent of casualties to sustain the war effort.
Pat Tillman Case (2004): The Pentagon initially claimed NFL-star-turned-Ranger Pat Tillman died from enemy fire in Afghanistan; it was later revealed he was killed by friendly fire, with the official narrative used to bolster war support

. . . an accounting of the number wounded?

We know that 13 were killed and we know when, where, and how they died -- 6 in the loss of a refueling aircraft, etc., etc.

I have seen almost nothing about wounded. The link for this post quotes a survivor as saying
more than 20 wounded.


I had read elsewhere that as many as 300 had been evecuated to Landstuhl Army Medical Center, Germany, as well as another report that ???? were then eveacced from Landstuhl to Walter Reed and other stateside hospitals.

Why is Hogsbreath hiding the number of wounded?

I have written to my Republican Congressman but don't expect an answer.

Name
Town & zip
Phone number
One topic
“Stop bombing schools, bridges, desalination plants, oil refineries - those are war crimes …”

Personalize it if you can
* “I LIKE voting by mail”
* *I paid $__ for gas yesterday.”
* “My Grandson was born in Dec and I don’t want him to grow up in the shadow of a Forever War”

“Thank you for taking my call”

I often call on my way to work, outside business hours, and leave a message. I tell them not to reply - they just send a form-letter anyway.

But you’re just one voice, one little phone call

Yeah right.
Tell that to the mosquito in your bedroom when you’re trying to sleep at night.

Plus why haven't there been any interviews with the rescued pilot? Not even a Stars & Stripes interview.
