"Dozens" of U.S. and allied troops were transported to Kuwait aboard Canadian aircraft ahead of missile strikes that targeted military bases in Iraq, according to a report.

The relocation effort began Monday and continued Tuesday, with the military personnel leaving Iraq for safety reasons on numerous Canadian C-17 Globemaster aircraft.

Senior military sources said civilians and unarmed personnel were being prioritized, according to Canada's Global News.

Looking more like we knew it was coming. Iran got to “retaliate” with no US deaths...let’s hope it can end here.

It didn’t end there for the folks aboard that plane.

What a shame.

Sounds like the planes taken from Ft Bragg to Kuwait a couple of days ago. They probably unloaded and dropped off our troops and picked up more in Iraq.

It is a shame, but that’s for Ukraine to deal with.

Iran attacks Iraqi bases, missed US troops but kills Iraqi troops... Mean while Trump say Iran’s pitiful attack doesn’t deserve a response at this time by the US but Iraq should defend itself... Palosi though has to either side with Trump or advocate attacking Iran. I need popcorn for tomorrow.lol

There will be a monetary payment involved.

And condemnations if it was an accidental shooting.

And I’m sorry, iran is like a bully that can’t admit it has no chance against the bigger kid.

They will do something again. Maybe not today or tomorrow but soon.

They can’t help it.

RCAF designation is CC-177 Globemaster III. It is a C-17A ER.

Canada has 5 of them and I'm sure the RCAF is happy to provide airlift assistance to our American allies anytime, anywhere.

Looks like some of the intel that was used as basis to go after the dead terrorist was correct...it can’t end there unless Iran does a complete about face...how President Trump responds will give us an idea of the intel he’s getting.
