HAVANA (AP) — The names, ranks and ages of the 32 Cuban military personnel killed during the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces were published Tuesday by the Cuban government, which announced two days of mourning.

Among the deceased are colonels, lieutenants, majors and captains, as well as some reserve soldiers, ranging in age from 26 to 60.

The uniformed personnel belonged to the Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior, Cuba's two main security agencies. The publication did not specify their missions or exactly how they died.

First it was officers, then citizens. Now back to officers. Like dems, can’t keep the narrative correct.

“ did not specify their missions or exactly how they died.”
Supporting the wrong side, obviously.😂

About as effective as bodyguards as are Soviet air defense systems

An occupying force in Venezuela.

0 casualties on our side and at least 32 dead on their side is one hell of a lopsided victory.

Apparently Maduro could not trust his own people to protect him...

Its possible that Marduro was not the guy in charge. He may have been surrounded by Cubans because Cuba or Russia was controlling him. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I am not sure that we can claim victory. Or even that we have done anything more than kick the beehive. We may not have grabbed the true queen.

They died defending a fake president and narco terrorist. I’m sure the lame press would’ve been giddy if it were 32 Americans.

Obviously the Cubans failed miserably at their mission of protecting Maduro. Major embarrassment for the Cuban regime.

Probably not a whole lot of Cuban volunteering to take their place. LOL

Great investigative reporting, Newsmax! Way to burp up that spoon fed information! Bravo! You're a regular Nick Shirley.

Now do the citizens Maduro has killed and the political prisoners he's locked up.

Just one U.S. casualty and the media would have been covering it for days on end.
