      Usually when they say this it means they are either totally maimed, brain damaged to the point of no longer being able to conduct any sort of operations or literally about to die, if you read the article two are ‘very seriously injured’ and 8 are ‘seriously injured’

      Expect the killed stats to rise, Trump is killing his own people and the Iranian people too for foreign interests

      Nobody forced them to be there, it’s their job, their choice to come and attack other people.

      End this disaster now before more people get killed. I can’t believe the U.S. is doing this. Trump’s stated position of not intervening militarily in the Middle East was probably the only one of his policies I actually agreed with, and now we find out (unsurprisingly, I suppose) he was full of shit about that one too.

      Remember all those idiots who were saying “I’m gonna have to go to war because Taylor Swift will convince girls to vote for Harris.” And now Americans are dying because of a war Trump started. His voters can really never feel stupid enough

      Article makes it sound like its just one base. As of late March 2026, the „evacuation“ of U.S. Gulf bases is characterized by a massive tactical dispersion of personnel into civilian areas.

      This shift follows a month of intense conflict (Operation Epic Fury) that has rendered several key military installations „all but uninhabitable“ due to roughly….**$800 million to $2.9 billion** in infrastructure damage from Iranian missile and drone strikes. 

      Personnel Relocation and Status

      * **“Work from Home“ War**: Thousands of the estimated **40,000 U.S. troops** in the region have relocated to **hotels and office spaces** in cities like Doha, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. This dispersed footprint aims to reduce the risk of mass-casualty events on severely damaged bases, though it degrades operational efficiency.
      * **Stranded Contractors**: While many active-duty personnel have moved, over **200 U.S. contractors** at Martyr Ali Flaih (formerly Balad) Air Base in Iraq and others in Kuwait report being „sitting ducks“ with no clear evacuation plan and inadequate bunker facilities.
      * **Mandatory Departures**: The [U.S. State Department](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuoWCTopqDs) has ordered the evacuation of non-emergency staff and military families from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. 

      Strategic Impact on Facilities

      * **Infrastructure Loss**: Strikes have specifically targeted „eyes and ears“ equipment, destroying or damaging at least **12 radar systems** (including high-cost THAAD and Patriot units) across Jordan, the UAE, and Kuwait, leaving them effectively blind.
      * **Casualties at Bases**: Significant incidents include a drone strike on a tactical operations center at [**Port Shuaiba, Kuwait**](https://www.google.com/viewer/place?mid=/g/1tdncq_z&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiK95Cqn8GTAxXQHzQIHZ1iCX8QqdYPegYIAQgHEAM) , which killed six U.S. soldiers in early March. Most recently, a March 27 strike on [**Prince Sultan Air Base**](https://www.google.com/viewer/place?mid=/m/0ds7d1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiK95Cqn8GTAxXQHzQIHZ1iCX8QqdYPegYIAQgHEAU) in Saudi Arabia wounded at least 10 service members and damaged several refueling aircraft. These are official numbers with actual casualties possibly much higher.
      * **Reinforcements**: Despite the base retreats, the U.S. is deploying **7,000 to 10,000 additional troops**, including paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division and Marine Expeditionary Units, to bolster regional defenses.

      Horrible. Another Middle East entanglement it’s like one continuous nightmare as long as I’ve been alive.

      Trump doesn’t care about the soldiers being hurt and killed any more than he cares about the Iranian civilians. We’re all just pawns in a game that exists to serve him.

      These selfish soldiers are infringing on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago time. They really need to suck it up and wait to report this until Monday.

      WSJ says that the drone swarm hit multiple tankers as well.

      Inexcusable the United States hasn’t learned lessons from watching this kind of thing in Ukraine where multiple drone attacks on targets are routine by both sides. And this was in Saudi Arabia which means they had to be pretty big drones.

      Destroyed 5+ KC-130 refuelers from the satellite images I saw.

      America really didn’t learn shit from the Ukraine-Russia war, parking planes without cover while drones are flying around. Bunch of morons in charge.

    23. 1artvandelay on

      we have known about drone warfare for a decade and our bases, helicopters and planes are still being left without any form of overhead protection. a war of aggression and choice was initiated and our troops and equipment left out in the open. complete criminal negligence.

    27. optimization_ml on

      And for what. Just to murder 160 brown kids in cold blood. Iranians are religious maniacs but very strategic and whereas we have religious maniacs in White House who are some of the stupidest people alive today.

      This is shitty news but I really hope there is not a ground war because now you’re turning a campaign into a war and I’m not a fan of that at all

    31. MedicinePractical738 on

      These armed forces members are really feeling that short term pain.
