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.
If I travelled back in time to 26 years ago to tell this guy’s parents that their son will die to be a distraction because an orange reality TV star, bankruptcy champion, 34 felony holding, confirmed rapist and racist, multi crime committing, old aged, narcissistic pathological liar, mushy brained dementia riddled imbecile was trying to ‘flood the zone with shit’ just to protect itself from the decades of child rapes -and most probably even more evil shit- then do you think they’d believe me?
The thing is, I know it happened and yet even I can’t believe it.
