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.
He’s not earning any sympathy if he was part of Trump’s old “Weaponize Space” bullshit.
You’re thinking of Space Force. A Totally legit branch of the military.
Not to be confused with the Netflix Series of the same name starring Steve Carrell and John Malkovich, which for future reference, we’ll just call “the good one”, though that really isn’t saying much.
Shame the TV show wasn’t any good. Such an incredible lineup that was wasted on trying to create “the office” in space.
It would have been hilarious to search for Space Force and have the show be the first thing you find.
