I am hoping that progressives or conservatives, as well, don’t make a political stunt from the deaths of our military, but nothing would surprise me. I ask all of you to say a prayer and respect those who serve. All IMO.

“The U.S. confirmed Friday morning that four crew members were killed when a KC-135 military refueling plane was lost while flying over Iraq.
Officials had earlier said the incident was “not due to hostile or enemy fire.”
In a statement early Friday morning, the U.S. Central Command said the aircraft went down in western Iraq.
“Four of six crew members on board the aircraft have been confirmed deceased as rescue efforts continue,” it said. “The circumstances of the incident are under investigation. However, the loss of the aircraft was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.”
The identities of the service members are being withheld until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified, the statement added.
Earlier, U.S. Central Command said two aircraft were involved, and that the accident occurred in friendly airspace.
The second landed safely, the U.S. Central Command added.”
