Sgt Benjamin N Pennington, 26, died from injuries sustained during Iranian strike on airbase in Saudi Arabia
The Pentagon has identified the seventh US service member killed in the war with Iran as 26-year-old army Sgt Benjamin N Pennington, who is a resident of Glendale, Kentucky.
In a statement on Monday the department said Pennington died on Sunday from injuries sustained during an Iranian strike on the Prince Sultan airbase in Saudi Arabia on 1 March. The incident is under investigation, the statement said.
Pennington was assigned to first space battalion, first space brigade, Fort Carson, Colorado, the Pentagon said. The brigade is part of the army space and missile defense command.
7th that’s been admitted to.
The real casualty count is being heavily censored.
Allied NATO countries are reporting US soldiers arriving to their hospitals end masse.
I would like to learn more, do you have some links? Or where are you hearing about these?
Since it’s mostly a bombing campaign I don’t see how it would be much higher. It’s not that much different than the casualties seen during the gulf war. Only 219 US deaths from that entire conflict
This soldier died in Saudi Arabia. Unlike the gulf war, Iran can strike back with greater accuracy than they were given credit for. This is nothing like the gulf war in terms of the capabilities of the opponent. The USA will also not be able to win this war with air strikes alone, boots on the ground will be needed.
Well they don’t usually take the dead ones to a hospital.
Good? Doesn’t everyone else hope that Iran gets a least a few devastating strikes in? They are the victim here.
source?
someone suggests they’re likely going to suppress the bad news
You: runs in demanding a source to a postulation
COVID was when we saw in real time that America is willing to manipulate the numbers. It’s a really depressing reality and incredibly disrespectful to the families of the troops who died.
