Iran Strike Soldiers Say Army Failed

An Iranian drone struck a U.S. Army logistics site at Port Shuaiba in Kuwait on March 1, killing six soldiers and injuring dozens. Nine wounded service members told the Associated Press the military medical system failed to spot serious injuries, arrange hospital care quickly, and provide timely follow-up. An Army spokesman said wounded troops got needed treatment for return to duty or evacuation, and denied injuries were downplayed. Years of U.S. drawdowns left the region without major U.S.-run medical facilities, complicating evacuation and treatment. Officer Arturo Lincón said he was sent to barracks despite artery damage. Soldiers said commanders were warned the site was vulnerable, while Gold Star families awaited the Army investigation.
