RIP Soldiers.
prayers for their families...........
Rest in peace brothers.
RIP
A 38 year old Staff Sergeant should have known damn well that the water was too dangerous to cross.
I would imagine the soldier from San Angelo knew this was dangerous. San Angelo has some fast moving streams when it floods. If he even saw it coming. Obvious most of them were in the back.
To sweep a 2 1/2 ton truck away it had to be some swift water.
They need a court martial for the officer that ordered or permitted this. If he or she didn’t do anything wrong, they can prove that at trial.
RIP
Is it accurate to assume the 38 yr old Staff Sgt made the decision to cross and that he was sitting up front? I notice he’s from Brooklyn, NY, not exactly a place that sees a lot of Texas-style flash floods.
RIP for all of them.
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.
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.
