Very very sad. May God sustain their families, who have lost their children through a foolish mistake.
Don’t drive through moving flood water. Don’t walk through it. Still flood waters aren’t that much better. They hide holes and snags and downed wires.
This tragedy happened due to a gross failure of leadership from the Commanding officer down to this dumb ass incompetent SSgt. This incident disgusts me to my core.
It’s the Obama Military.
Beannachd Dia dhuit.
Hubby saw an 18-wheeler moved off a highway with 2 feet of swift moving water.
A West Point cadet was among the dead. Cadets are assigned to active army units during the summer as leadership training normally as a platoon leader so he would have been the senior leader from a rank perspective. RIP to all.
Saw that. Not sure what to make of it. Hope that it wasn’t he who gave the order to enter the water. But having heard stories from someone who graduated USMA, those kids are under a lot of pressure to perform.
