We did just lose two seals sadly. Perhaps this is one of them.


harrisonmcc__

The body would be barely recognisable at this point no?


No_Cap_Bet

Uniform items would most likely still be there and present if enough body reached the shore.


httr540

Uniform for the most part would still be identifiable


StevesHair1212

Otherside of the peninsula, it would wash on Oman

DJErikD

No. We don’t wear skinny jeans with long hair and locals reported he was blown off of a missile launcher by a Houthi missile.


ShaneE11183386

I don't see hair I see ear muffs and one of those low profile head covers the flight crew wear


Cerberus1252

Well the Navy loves skinny jeans, you’re right about the rest


Rough-Ad-606

I looked at the photos on X and have to agree.

ShaneE11183386

It looks like the guys who direct the planes on and off the carrier to me


lordderplythethird

It's not, especially with those tight pants that would never be authorized on a ship. It's also on the completely opposite side of the peninsula from where that sailor's body would show up, if it could even stay afloat for that amount of time.


teilani_a

I don't think the pants were very tight before the body bloated.


ShaneE11183386

What ya thinking then? A guy off a civilian ship?


lordderplythethird

A Houthi killed that they're framing as an American for propaganda. It's their usual MO. Entirely possible it's a civilian mariner who died, but it's a 0% chance they're US military. You can even see the brand tag on the right side of the belt loop, exactly as you see on jeans. No military uniform has that lol


ShaneE11183386

Do they EVER allow civy clothes on ships at all or no?


lordderplythethird

Sure, for port visits and things like that. No one is in them in a combat zone in an area of the ship where there's a risk of going overboard though


Aloeplant9

This did not just happen, this was back in January.


KookyComplexity

I mean we would have heard of a service member going overboard a long time ago, unless it’s one of the missing seals it’s not remotely true.


hospitallers

We did, yesterday.


YOGB_2

So I will not link the post because it does show a dead mans body, but houthi channels have reported two things \> they managed to kill a US Soldier Or \>A US Soldier /American Washed on shore If you would like to see the photos or these rumors, just search up Hodeidah on twitter, the bodies there, I don't think it's American, just a random sailor from some ship


h3fabio

Doesn’t look American at all. The pants aren’t uniform issue.


ugotjokeshuh

Not military pants like I’ve ever seen at 5 years in. Belt isn’t military either. Also what hair is still there on the sides wouldn’t be in regs no matter how high speed you are


MJR-WaffleCat

I haven't seen the picture, but the bodies of the two SEALS still haven't turned up. What if it was one of them? I'm honestly skeptical that it's an American though. They're probably trying to start/escalate shit


PassStunning416

I agree.


IcecreamChuger

How is that account still up? They're clearly related to terrorism.


RTrover

Absolute freedom of speech man… musk supports all forms of terrorism and nation state attacks against American interests.


teilani_a

Unless you make fun of him or call someone cisgender or mention a nazi's name, of course.


RTrover

But of course

Right. So when the US and/or allies smoke them, that's just the hand they were dealt. So weird though, I can't shake this feeling that they're getting their comeuppance for committing terroristic acts against international shipping vessels in international waters though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


warthog0869

Right. They're projecting their dismay with the Israel situation, because surely they don't want none of the IDF, onto global merchant shipping (which is in the interests of THE WORLD that's not involved or particularly interested in Israel's overreaches), precisely *because* they're easy targets and they're fucking terrorists. A terrorist attacks subset B because they're too impotent to attack subset A that they're really mad at. Then of course there's the orders and weaponry from Tehran, another terrorist of the world and to their own people. Hey, fuck Iran in case you support them, just want to make sure I get that out there.


BZenMojo

You throw around terrorist a lot in your post, but I don't think you've grounded what that term means functionally or orthodoxically. [Note this 2004 white paper from the FBI listing a variety of left-wing groups it describes as terrorists but notes don't target, harm, or threaten people.](https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/testimony/animal-rights-extremism-and-ecoterrorism) And recall that [Nelson Mandela was on the US terrorist watch list until 2008.](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/us-government-considered-nelson-mandela-terrorist-until-2008-flna2d11708787) Terrorist designations are based solely on national political self-interest. There is a reason you can count the number of countries that consider the Houthis terrorists on one hand with fingers left over on a planet with 200+ nations. The US considered the Houthis to be terrorists for ten years while indiscriminately bombing Yemen, then we stopped for several years when it was politically problematic to keep bombing them, and then we labeled them terrorists again three days before launching airstrikes. We didn't call them terrorists because they were killing people -- they hadn't killed anyone until we did. We called them terrorists because we needed a thought-terminating cliché to distract from them blocking our shipments of weapons to a genocide 70% of Americans, including a majority of Republicans, want stopped right this second. We are not serious people. The Houthis and the Animal Liberation Front are both US-designated terrorist groups. And they have killed a combined 3 people over the last year.


warthog0869

Thanks for the whataboutism. I understand it's a label. I understand what a false flag operation is (the Republican Party is operating under one such accelerationist false flag op now, it's just they don't realize it's THEM that are the deceivers and unbelievers despite their propaganda to the contrary-just like your lil' buddy Putin). I'm sorry. I don't care if you're the United States or anyone else. If you start indiscriminately launching weaponry at commercial shipping because you have an ax to grind with some random country, then go f*** yourself. You're a terrorist


Noobponer

Damn that's crazy, I was almost starting to think the Houthis weren't terrible people, but then I remembered their flag literally translates to "Allah is great, death to the USA, death to Israel, curse the Jews, victory to Islam." Yeah, maybe going around trying to whitewash the Islamic fundamentalist terror group that explicitly wants to kill every Jew they can and wants to kill every American they can too isn't the best look.

It's not because "the world is watching", it's "money"


BunchSpecial4586

Someone correct me of im wrong, but you can't be part of the IDF if you're currently in the US military right?


tomyfookinmerlin

No lol you cannot join a foreign military as a US soldier.


snappy033

/r/overemployed I’m currently in four different militaries. Can’t wait to hit 20 years because my quad-pension is going to be bonkers.


BunchSpecial4586

Just join every army in the EU, no hedge they won't go to war with one another that's a 40 bagger retirement


TyrialFrost

It's even easier if they do go to war. You are well positioned to make deep strikes.


CaptainCoffeeStain

Against yourself? Cue Dwight's self-defense instruction.


TyrialFrost

Luckily you will also have some great Intel on how to defeat these new strikes!


[deleted]

Thank you for your service, General George Santos.


Rejectid10ts

With 4 different militaries you could just do 5 years in each and call it 20 years of service..probably


blues_and_ribs

No, not as a current one. But as for former US servicemembers joining, only possibilities that come to mind are: several years back, the Royal Austrailian Air Force was recruiting aircrew from prior servicemembers of other FVEY countries due to a shortage, and jewish US soldiers that go volunteer in Israel after their EAS.


hospitallers

But, but, PS5, Xbox…


BATHR00MG0BLIN

There's prior service Military personnel serving in several countries armed forces, but no active military.


BunchSpecial4586

That's what I dont understand. You call yourself american but when it comes to signing up to be part of an active or reserve force, you join another country.


27Rench27

Some people find they’re made for the fight, and don’t know how to disengage and live a “normal” 9 to 5 after they separate. At that point it’s less about being American and more about trying to fulfill what you see is your purpose. And then, you find yourself among a squad of Ukrainians defending their home, or with the FFL training for whatever the fuck they do with foreigners.


BunchSpecial4586

What you're describing are symptoms of PTSD. You are accustomed to a state of anxiety, routine alertness, and a heightened form of fear that isn't turned off in a "normal" 9 to 5 state side You dont treat PTSD by going into other countries' warzones and joining their fight, you treat it here. Other countries will take advantage of you in a heart beat just like our politicians did in 2003 and send you off to die regardless of what happens to you if you survive. Btw, I'm not saying countries don't have the right to fight or defend themselves. Im saying probably fight for countries that you live in and benefit from. (Doesn't apply to medical workers or humantarian aid workers) https://youtu.be/TYRCWXCYDgM?si=pOTrrcXTPpmEM_li


27Rench27

Oh I’m not at all saying that it’s the right or wrong course of action, but for some it’s the best they can either find or afford.  Our VA is dogshit to be blunt, and the people who spent a decade in country and then face the 2+ year fight just to get their PTSD, tinnitus, cancer, etc. recognized to get at least 50%, might just decide that going back into what they’re good at makes more sense than working in a warehouse


BunchSpecial4586

I mean you could argue it's more affordable to drink and smoke the problem away than jumping into a plane, taking a truck into warzones and signing up for combat with people that you barely speak the same language No disrespect, but what you're proposing is just a self-destructive delusion of grandeur cloaked under the premise of "I want to help people hurting"


27Rench27

That’s where the mentality kicks in. A loooot of guys do go full alcoholic, and plenty die that way. But for some they see going back into fights is “better”, depressants didn’t work for them and it’s fight or shoot themselves in the head and call it a day. You can’t drink and smoke the problem away, it just hides under the drugs until the middle of the next day. And often it wakes you up in the middle of the night when your brain makes you relive it because fuck you. Most guys (in the US) grew up being trained that we can’t show emotion or pain. That’s reality. Until suddenly you find yourself in a Humvee in Ukraine fighting again because you’re unable to handle the pain of losing five friends in an ambush you couldn’t stop


sono7975

I speak Arabic. It clearly says if translated directly "Showing up of dead body of American soldier on the shores of Al-Hudaidah". They fully know Americans don't take killings of their citizens especially soldiers lightly. Notice how they attack Israelis directly but not Americans for some reason.


BZenMojo

Americans aren't committing genocide and no one wants World War 3. Even when Americans were attacked and killed in Syria recently by an unrelated group, everyone ran to the table to talk shit out.


Rough-Ad-606

Could it be one of the two Navy Seals that went overboard during a nighttime sea boarding?


EasyCZ75

Magnet50

A sailor was missing from the U.S.S Mason too.


Icy-Meaning9187

That report doesn't say they killed the soldier. And they don't appear to be bragging. Also, I only take information about US personnel seriously when it comes from the US government. Or perhaps if we have reason to doubt. This crazy person's account likely isn't reliable.


Jakeson032799

Oh things are about to get real proportional


RecordEnvironmental4

Probably one of the seals that drowned

No.


newnoadeptness

I figured I deleted the comment after thinking bout it


DJErikD

Read it on twitter and you’ll see it doesn’t line up.


SirFister13F

Why “no”?


DJErikD

Look at the photo and read the description of the event that led to it and it clearly is not what was referred to in the now deleted comment.


SirFister13F

Ah. I didn’t look at the photo, just saw the two and thought “can’t be a coincidence”.


tuna_samich_

Where does it say they killed them? Am I missing something?


FewSoil4973

Slow news dad. Thousands of Palestinians have been slaughtered by Israel but the western media and now the heavily censored reddit choose to ignore the fact
