Very sad. Our military appears to be a mess.

Eastern Med is a training area? Yeah, I don’t think so.

Really?

All on board died, easy for them to say whatever they want with no verification.

My guess is an E-2, early warning aircraft. Think ‘mini AWACS’

“The command gave no further details on the type of aircraft involved in the crash, the military service it belonged to, or the exact location or timing of the accident.”

That’s called Opsec.

No further info will be released.

Are we at war and not know it?

My God. I sure hope it wasn’t a KC-135 refueler. I know folks who man those aircrafts. Tragic no matter who was involved obviously, and prayers are up for the families of those who perished.

FOX is reporting that it was some form of a chopper, and that it was SOCOM members that were lost.

If I had to guess, it was either SEALs or MARSOC practicing hostage rescue/evacuation, or possibly elimination/capture of a high value target.

The five U.S. service members killed in an aircraft crash on Saturday were special operations personnel, Fox News has learned.

The aircraft that the service members were flying in had “suffered a mishap” and crashed, according to U.S. European Command (EUCOM). It was on a routine refueling air mission.

The aircraft was a spec ops Black Hawk helicopter. The training accident is under investigation.

President Biden said in a statement that he and his wife are “praying for the families and friends who have lost a precious loved one.”

“Our service members put their lives on the line for our country every day,” Biden’s statement read. “They willingly take risks to keep the American people safe and secure. And their daily bravery and selflessness is an enduring testament to what is best in our nation.”

Fox News Digital’s Jennifer Griffin, Stephen Sorace and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Xiden’s incompetent woke military strikes again. Some tranny was probably redoing his makeup and got everyone killed.

Code for combat casualties? A "training accident" seems to happen a lot to SOCOM personnel. In a hot zone?

It’s not like the Eastern Med is a war zone these days.
