I know we lose warfighters in training at home and of course nonmilitary folks die on and off the job all the time, but I somehow especially hate losing our military in places I hope we no longer need to have operations.
Gen Ham who had ordered a reaction force to reinforce the embassy we lost and Obama and Clinton lied about was CG of Africa Command. Obama relieved him. Back in the early to mid 60’s the 3rd sent a detachment to train the Ethiopian emperor’s security force. We had a satellite go down there also. I recall towards the end of US involvement in Vietnam the 10th Group at Devens had DEMO men demine the Suez canal.
