The families of US soldiers who have died in the US-Israeli war against Iran are battling to ensure they receive appropriate pay and benefits for their loved ones.
Libby Klinner, a widow, wrote on social media that the US air force had deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following the death of Major Alex Klinner, her 33-year-old husband, because Congress had not officially declared war.
He was one of six crew members of a KC-135 refuelling aircraft that crashed in western Iraq in March while supporting US strikes against Iran.
Shouldnt have married a warcriminal…
Lol
Smort move… those who had guns died, no need to pay those who don’y have weapon or treats.
For those, who still have weapons…
please stop joining the military
I 100% agree. But also, some folks have little choice as it’s the only path they have out of poverty. Could be their only chance for a decent education too.
Its not worth it.
The Israeli-US Alliance essentially murdered Iranian schoolgirls.
Sorry i have to kill brown people. Some rape is expected, but i really didn’t have a choice.
is it a “special military operation”?
Ah yes. My withdrawal of money from the corner store isn’t robbery. 🙄
so… when are they gonna coup the orange turd stain?
Are you free on Jan 6. 2027 ?
Remember, remember, the fifth of November.
Deserved.
As in all other things, they want all of the benefits and none of the responsibilities.
Lie down with dogs, madam…
So they are eating slightly more healthy than someone eating boot soles as only meal of the day, they are being deployed for months without rest and they are dying in combat (or combat-related operations) BUT they are not at war so them and their families can’t get benefits from it BUT ALSO they can’t return home because they not at war but they are at war at the same time (which is not a war because the Congress didn’t say so).
Are you trying to piss off the army and make the people with weapons turn against you? Because this is how you piss off the army and make the people with weapons turn against you.

They’re gambling that the American people, including the soldiers, are too atomised and too docile. Just like unions in other exploitative industries are becoming increasingly rare. I think they’re probably correct, they ain’t gonna do shit but accept it. You’ve gotta be constitutionally a bootlicker to join the military anyway. Those people don’t have it in them to stand up for themselves unless it’s “against” their wife and kids. Maybe you’ll get an occasional guy losing it and shooting up his colleagues, the traditional way to do it.
If it’s not officially a war, what happens if a combatant chooses not to engage?
I suspect they’d be court martialled as if it were refusing a wartime order.
Oh I have seen this one before!

Scum of the earth may his family be deprived of all benefits.
It’s a really stupid idea to upset the military while they’re on active duty. Well, America might get their first military uprising.
When they try to steal the midterms, please.
