“We were soldiers once…and young.”
Cheers to all the veterans out there for being willing to sacrifice so much for this great country.

Vance is confronted by the emotional husband of a soldier killed in Iran War and acts like he had no idea anyone ever died:
Q: It's a hard price to pay. There's a failure in the leadership. How will the leadership be held accountable?
Vance: If there were failures... This is the first time I've heard of this.

The Iran war has also imposed human costs, with 21 U.S. service members killed and hundreds injured since the conflict began in late February.
In the war’s early hours, six U.S. Army Reserve soldiers were killed in an Iranian strike on a site in Kuwait, including Master Sgt. Nicole Amor. Her husband, Joey Amor, asked Vance about reports that the facility in Kuwait was not adequately secured.

ABC News' Matt Rivers is aboard the USS George Washington, one of two U.S. aircraft carriers operating near the contested Strait of Hormuz.
Flight operations are near constant as the ship enforces the U.S. blockade of Iranian oil while helping commercial tankers exit the strait. The conflict with Iran is now in its eighth month.
Cowards.

While the Iran War accelerated the use of THAADs and Patriots, there was already a shortage due to munitions given to Ukraine under Biden; munitions used in the defense of Israel under Biden and Trump; and historical decisions dating back to the end of the Cold War.
Exclusive: The Army's top general warned of a critical missile defense shortage before the Iran war began, officials say. cbsn.ws/4s5Bdfw

New: The US military has developed fresh strike plans that include potentially using the so-called “mother of all bombs” to target Iranian energy infrastructure & nuclear sites should Trump give the order to resume combat operations either before or after the midterm elections, multiple officials tell me, @halbritz & @Kevinliptakcnn.

Feels like there's a long overdue PERSTEMPO conversation to be had.
Troops deployed to the Middle East, Souther Border, now Latin America. Some just rotating home after long deployments.
That is, if Congress is interested in doing its job these days.
NEW -- U.S. is sending hundreds of Army troops to Latin America to help fight drug traffickers, expanding the Pentagon's counter-cartel campaign w/@GregJaffe, @anniecorreal nytimes.com/2026/10/14/us/po…
Everybody agrees.
Susan Collins on the Iran war:
"I agree that the president did not have a good plan."

You see, @DanLamothe, the people *say* they care about the folks wearing the uniforms who report to the leaders who are avoiding you and your colleagues in the Pentagon.
But even in a time of war, they're easily distracted by other things. Silly things.
What a privilege...

“This could ultimately be a multibillion-dollar change that was resulting from largely this one sailor’s interaction with the president,” said Bryan Clark. “Which is kind of crazy when you think about the level of impact a single person had.”

Admiral McRaven speaks:
In planning to publicly execute Nidal Hasan, the Trump administration “continues to undermine our national values,” and gives credence to those who say the U.S. has lost its way, William H. McRaven argues: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…
“We know that technology is going to hit the homeland at some point.”
I'm glad the Secret Service is on their toes about the possibility of drone attacks on our shores, and hope other federal law enforcement are preparing for this as well.
The Secret Service says it is preparing for drone attacks, drawing on lessons from the battlefield in Ukraine to develop its own drone program.

The Pentagon has released few details about the Iranian drone strike on Port Shuaiba in Kuwait that killed six soldiers. The AP spoke with people serving in key positions of responsibility there or familiar with high-level briefings. Here are key takeaways. apnews.com/article/iran-war-…

Someone should be held accountable for this incompetence.
Breaking news: The Pentagon acknowledged that the number of troops who have died in the Middle East during its operations against Iran is higher than previously reported, and updated the official count to include two more noncombat deaths. wapo.st/4ieXxju
