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.

    despite to depress dem turnout to stop progressives

    I assume that was supposed to be “desperate”.

    That aside, I would much prefer the Americans elect a Democrat over a Republican, but I also would prefer the democrats put forward more progressive candidates than they have been.

      Buddy…

      Every comment you make, shows you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

      The party shouldn’t pick any candidate, the fact that they were was the problem.

      Why the fuck don’t you ask questions instead of a constant string of wrong information?

      Do you think any of the shit you e been saying is actually true or how any of this works?
