8 SOF Soldiers Injured

Jesus.

Not to thread drift, but I was just about to file this:

15 Marines injured, 5 critically, after vehicle bursts into flames during training at Camp Pendleton – Orange County Register

It seems as if we are losing more men to training than we are to actual combat activities. Fuck.

CAMP PENDLETON — Fifteen Marines were injured and five were in critical condition at hospitals in Orange and San Diego counties, after an assault amphibious vehicle burst into flames during a training accident Wednesday morning, Sept. 13, at this seaside military base, officials said.

Marine Corps officials are investigating the cause of the accident that injured members of the 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion. The accident is the second-largest multiple-injury incident in the last two years at the Marine Corps base.

Five other Marines are listed in serious condition, one in stable condition, and two have minor injuries, said 1st Lt. Paul Gainey. Two other Marines were being treated for unknown medical conditions.
 
Truly saddening! Rest In Peace, Warrior!

Prayers out for the recovery of the injured!
