Two US service members missing in Morocco

newsMay 3, 202637687

Two U.S. service members are missing near the Cap Draa training area in southwestern Morocco during the annual African Lion exercises, U.S. Africa Command said Sunday. Africom said a search-and-rescue operation is underway and U.S. and Moroccan forces are coordinating the effort. Officials have not released the service members' names or the cause of the incident while teams continue recovery operations. The incident interrupts African Lion, a major multinational exercise that tests U.S.-Morocco interoperability and raises immediate safety and diplomatic questions for participating partners.

If the U.S. military is short on munitions and hardware as expressed by this administration, wouldn’t it be prudent to stop exercises conducted globally by all branches of the military? Incompetence or lying. That’s the two choices you have with this administration.

“Military exercises in Morocco.” This has to end - the maintenance of a global imperial military with bases and military presence in so many damn countries we can’t keep track has to end. It’s bankrupting America.

Maybe if the secretary of defense was actually looking out for our troops instead of finding ways to discriminate against anyone not in his cult/club, this shit show would be less shitty.

hoping they're found safe soon... but can someone explain why we're just now hearing about this? how long were they missing before it made news?

Kegsbreath can’t seem to run an army. maybe because he has never had any training to do so.

It’s believed that they fell off a cliff in to the sea. WTF?

I hope they're found alive soon.

Maybe they *want* to be missing.

How do you lose service members?

Did they do something stupid, like wander into Western Sahara and get kidnapped, perchance? Probably.

Whiskey Pete Hegseth, isolated after his many major military fuckups. Today, 2 U.S. servicemen are missing in Morocco after taking part in annual multinational military exercises. It remains under investigation, and the search is ongoing. #ProudBlue #Hegseth #MissingUSServicemen

So I just read that two service members are now missing according to @aaronparnas.bsky.social n Africa-com during annual military exercises. Perhaps firing the servicemen with the most experience wasn’t the best idea, Hegsbreath. You are yet another disappointing failure within this inept regime.

@litahart72.bsky.social

How many service members are missing or injured or deceased? Does anybody know the true numbers. Are they just lying to us about the status of our American military men and women?
