BREAKING: Survivors of the missile attack that killed 6 Americans say Hegseth is LYING – it wasn’t a lucky shot, they were completely unprepared to defend themselves thanks to Trump’s incompetence!
CBS News is reporting that the survivors of an attack on a US base in Kuwait that killed 6 Americans and wounded 20 more are disputing Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth’s version of the events, who said the missile was a “squirter” that managed to sneak through their defenses.
The reality, they said, is that they were completely unprepared to defend themselves.
"Painting a picture that 'one squeaked through' is a falsehood," one of the injured soldiers told CBS News. "I want people to know the unit … was unprepared to provide any defense for itself. It was not a fortified position."
In a post on Twitter, Secretary of Defense Sean Parnell claimed that "every possible measure has been taken to safeguard our troops — at every level" and that "[t]he secure facility was fortified with 6-foot walls."
The survivors, however, said that "We moved closer to Iran, to a deeply unsafe area that was a known target. I don't think there was a good reason ever articulated."
CBS reports that the soldier “said they were protected by little more than a thin layer of vertical standing blast barricades that did not provide cover from above. ‘From a bunker standpoint, that's about as weak as one gets.’Asked to describe the degree of fortification, he responded: ‘I mean, I would put it in the none category. From a drone defense capability … none.’”
It is well-documented at this point that Trump and Hegseth plunged headfirst into this war with very little preparation, drastically underestimating Iran’s ability to respond to their unprovoked and illegal attacks and putting thousands of Americans in harm's way because of it.
Now six Americans are dead because of Trump and Hegseth’s arrogance and incompetence – and they’re lying to us about it.
Pete Hegseth needs to be removed from office IMMEDIATELY.
