WARSAW, Poland (AP) — NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said Wednesday that four U.S. soldiers who went missing while training in Lithuania have died, but that he did not yet know the details.
A U.S. official would say only that the four soldiers were involved in a training accident. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, would not comment on the status of the soldiers.
Rutte said during a trip to Warsaw that he had received word of the deaths of the four soldiers and that his thoughts were with their families and with the United States.
“This is still early news so we do not know the details. This is really terrible news and our thoughts are with the families and loved ones,” Rutte told reporters in Warsaw.
Sexual assault. Or shooting non-combatants. Nah…probably just incompetence of commanding officers as usual.
I’d like to second what @5714 said about baseless speculation. Please don’t, in the spirit of rules 2 and 9.
Until we have more information from/about them, I’d say this is baseless speculation.
Vehicle found in the water. Probably navigation error. Lord knows that’s not uncommon. Notably the army itself hasn’t confirmed any deaths, but seeing as they’re still missing, it’s likely they are.
Weren’t they found dead in a bog?
What do you think a bog is?
Apparently the news where too quick. It was first stated that the four soldiers where found dead, which now has changed to their vehicle being found.
Yeah nato sec general said they’re dead, but the US army hasn’t confirmed. Gonna wait and see but the fact that they weren’t announced found doesn’t look good.
During a training exercise in Lithuania!? Do you hear yourself?
