Reserve soldiers at a civilian port.0:11Now a bereaved husband is demanding accountability, and Vice President J.D.0:15Vance has promised to investigate.0:17The Army had already examined the attack months earlier.0:19What will Vance's promise add to that investigation?0:22The six soldiers died at Port Shawaiba in Kuwait on March 1st, 2026.0:27Senator Tammy Baldwin's later letter put the number of additional soldiers injured0:31at at least 30.0:32Joey Amor asked Vance who would answer for the decisions surrounding his wife's0:36death.0:37He alleged mistakes and fundamental failures had contributed to the attack's toll,0:42leaving six families grieving.0:43The exchange aired in a town hall on Saturday night, October 17th.0:47Amor wanted to know how the administration would hold responsible leaders0:51accountable.0:51Vance said he was hearing these allegations for the first time and promised to speak0:55with Amor and other soldiers.0:57Nicole M.0:58Amor was 39 from White Bear Lake, Minnesota.1:01The Army's March 3rd announcement identified her as a sergeant first class.1:05A Senate resolution submitted March 17th honored her as a master sergeant.1:10Vance pledged to understand what happened, examine what could improve, and1:13investigate possible failures within the Department of War.1:16He also said the administration had changed troop location practices after1:19recognizing a major mistake.1:21He withheld operational details.1:23Sergeant Declan J.1:24Cody was 20 from West Des Moines, Iowa.1:27Captain Cody A.1:28Cork was 35 from Winter Haven, Florida.1:31Sergeant 1st Class Noah L.1:32T.1:33Edgens was 42 from Bellevue, Nebraska.1:35Major Jeffrey O'Brien was from Waukee, Iowa.1:38Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan was 54 from Spotsylvania, Virginia.1:42All six soldiers were associated with the Army Reserve's 103rd Sustainment Command.1:46Cody's promotion was posthumous.1:48The decisions about where those soldiers worked had drawn scrutiny well before the1:52town hall.1:52Baldwin's August 5th letter described an Iranian Shahid drone striking a temporary1:57military facility at the port on the war's second day.1:59The facility served as a tactical operations center.2:02Soldiers alleged they'd been moved to Port Shawaiba from the larger, better defended2:06camp Arafian only days before the war.2:08Baldwin recounted their allegations in her letter.2:11The relocation was part of an effort to disperse personnel and reduce vulnerability2:14to Iranian attacks.2:16Those soldiers said earlier safety assessments had found the port facility2:19unsuitable because it lacked necessary defenses.2:22They said the move went ahead anyway.2:24Vance hasn't explained whether these were the same troop location decisions he meant2:27when he said practices had changed.2:29The March 1st strike had already led to a reportedly completed Army investigation by2:33July 9th.2:34Vance's town hall promise aired October 17th, months later.2:38Families were expected to receive a July briefing, but whether that happened is2:42unclear.2:42By August 5th, the investigation ran to more than 350 pages, and the Pentagon had2:48declined for weeks to disclose its findings.2:50On September 10th, Cork's family was still demanding its release.2:54His family argued that his death had been unnecessary.2:57Senator Tammy Baldwin pressed Secretary Pete Hegseth about releasing the3:01investigation on July 21st.3:03He said he'd coordinate with Central Command to give Congress more information.3:07On August 5th, Baldwin sent her demand to its commander, Admiral Brad Cooper.3:12She sought public release of the findings and the full investigation for Congress,3:16along with its supporting documents and any additional classified review.3:20Lawmakers also discussed a separate congressional investigation in July, amid doubts3:24about the Pentagon's objectivity.3:26Some initial findings were reportedly shared with families, yet families were also3:30still waiting for briefings in October.3:32It isn't clear which families received what information or whether the full3:36investigation was public by October 18th.3:38The scrutiny also reaches the treatment of survivors.3:41A July 29th lawmakers letter raised concerns about inadequate care for injured3:45personnel.3:46Troops had also entered the war without putting a broad mass casualty plan into3:50practice.3:50That would organize the response when many people are wounded at once.3:54Representative Jim McGovern called Vance clueless and accused him of putting a3:58favorable spin on an indefensible situation.4:00His criticism adds political pressure.4:02While the families are still seeking an explanation of military decisions, Vance's4:06promise now puts the follow-up with him.4:08He has pledged conversations with Amor and soldiers and an investigation into what4:13happened.4:13He hasn't identified an office to lead that work or supplied a deadline.4:17The six families are still waiting to learn what accountability will follow.อ่านบทความลำดับเวลาของเรื่องHeyDexคลิปสั้น
