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

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.

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.

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-135 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.

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.

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
Unnecessary-Shouting on
The article says that 2 are considered “Very seriously injured” which means that death is more likely than not in the next 72 hours. The rest are “Seriously injured” which means death is possible, but not likely. But that status also implies life altering injuries. The fact all 10 have been considered either of these is pretty worrying.

How are Trump’s advisors letting him make these crazy decisions. He’s acting like some sort of mentally unwell emperor. Are there not protections put in place to stop such stupidity?

Russian joins. Wonder what Putin’s puppet thinks now? Oh wait, he doesn’t give a damn about American soldiers.

Wait until you hear about the high tech drones seen flying over a base in Louisiana.
The statements I remember were :
Insusceptible to radar jammer / wifi jammer.
Flew in extremely coordinated patterns.
Appeared to be testing perimeter thresholds in defensive formations.

He is willing to sacrifice American lives, even those that tru a ted and voted for him, just so he can shift the focus from the Epstein pedophiles files and the middle term elections. Let that sink in for those who are fans.

We left our planes out in the open like the Russians to get targetted by drones.
Did we not learn anything about drone tactics deployed in the last 4-5 years from the war in Ukraine? Or did we just turned our nose and completely ignore them?
Millions of dollars of hardware potentially damaged and the lives of 10 Americans are now wounded or worse. That is insane.
