Facing death to protect the transport of commercial products is so early-Iraq-War
Jun 10
⭕️ The U.S. Apache helicopter that went down over the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday was participating in the Trump administration’s previously undisclosed mission to protect commercial shipping through the waterway, a senior U.S. official told The Wall Street Journal.
The Journal reported that the covert operation, which President Trump publicly acknowledged on Wednesday, has relied heavily on U.S. fighter jets and helicopters escorting oil tankers and other merchant vessels through the strait.
The official said the Apache was defending ships from Iranian drones and missiles when it went down. The two pilots escaped the burning aircraft by ejecting the damaged canopy and climbing out moments before it sank.

.@SECWAR “What happens with the future of Cuba is in the hands of the President of the United States and the leadership of Cuba.
NO MATTER WHAT—THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR IS GOING TO BE PREPARED AND POSTURED FOR ANY POSSIBLE CONTINGENCY.”

Currently all info on the website for the Selective Service System (the draft) about Conscientious Objection is a dead link. This denies 19 million draft-eligible youth vital facts about their rights.

Hidden on Memorial Day are countless veterans who died from toxic exposure to reckless, unregulated burn pits overseas. One of them was a CO and champion of peace. CCW honors him today. 🧵

It is your right to file as a CO at any time.
Last month, one of our clients was sent home from a combat deployment within a week of filing a claim.
Yesterday, another filed as a CO from aboard a ship deployed to the Iran war.
