4 of the 6 who died for Trump were U.S. Army Reserve soldiers age 35, 42, 39, and 20.
Army Reserve soldiers are part-time service members who balance civilian careers or education with military duty, typically serving one weekend a month and two weeks annually. They receive the same training as active-duty soldiers, earn military benefits, and can be deployed for missions worldwide. Why the hell were they at the front line?
They died Sunday March 1, 2026 when a drone hit a command center in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, just a day after the U.S. and Israel launched its military campaign against Iran. There was no American counter-rocket, artillery and mortar system at Shuaiba port that could be used to bring down incoming drones or other deadly munitions.
The operations center was a triple-wide trailer made into an office space — a common setup at U.S. bases abroad. The trailer's only fortifications were T-walls, which are steel-reinforced concrete barriers used to protect military personnel from explosions, rocket attacks and shrapnel. They could not protect the facility from an overhead strike. Two officials told CBS News that the strike appeared to hit dead-center on top of the building.
