The families of US soldiers who have died in the US-Israeli war against Iran are battling to ensure they receive appropriate pay and benefits for their loved ones.

Libby Klinner, a widow, wrote on social media that the US air force had deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following the death of Major Alex Klinner, her 33-year-old husband, because Congress had not officially declared war.

He was one of six crew members of a KC-135 refuelling aircraft that crashed in western Iraq in March while supporting US strikes against Iran.

    Honestly, if it’s this bad, why is this put up with?

    For a country that has spent so much time telling others how free it is, its citizens take a lot of shit

    If it’s that bad, no point waiting around any longer, shut the thing down.
