Biden Gaza pier fiasco left 62 US forces injured, one dead and caused $31M in damages: report

A military floating pier ordered by then-President Joseph R. Biden to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip was functional for barely 20 days before the effort was scrubbed following the death of a servicemember, dozens of injuries and the damage or loss of tens of millions of dollars worth of crucial equipment battered by heavy storms.

You should read the thread before posting.

Impulse's and other MAGA posters' claim was that MSM knew about the number of injuries before the publication of the report and covered it up, in order to help Biden to win the election! 🤣

It's still incoherent as RW media also did not talk about these injuries before the publication of the IG report, while they have been extensively reporting about Biden's decline for years. 🤣

Well yes but I was not disputing that, I was just stating that it would not have surprised me considering that Biden's health was covered up and that's a fact.

How is it Biden's fault?

They lied about what really happened... Making it their fault be default

What did they lie about? Nothing was covered up. The military undertook an exercise and there were some injuries. The serious injuries were reported. The other incidents were most likely  minor. Every day, personnel incur scrapes, bruises and sprains. If the US  executive branch was expected to report those incidents, there would be hundreds if not thousands reported every week.

Your claim is  just not true. There are  weekly, monthly , quarterly and annual reports. The tracking of the information is a critical part of ensuring the general health of military personnel  and maintaining  readiness.  The Defense Health Agency tracks the data. It also is responsible for providing guidelines and analyzing incidents to determine trends or if training must be adjusted.

So if it's easy, why didn't RW media find it?

Ask them. Data collection has not changed. This is just another  example of political motivation claiming a conspiracy when there is nothing. It is malicious disinformation.

 

I can make a conspiracy claims too.  The US military personnel should not be engaged in sports. Many injuries because of the activity. It could be a plot by a hedonist or athleticism cult because they encourage sports.  Nor should military personnel drive because of the high number of injuries.  Even worse is walking and marching. it should be stopped immediately. If it wasn't because of this stupid need for marching, then military personnel would not have so many sprains and  repetitive motion injuries. Could  be a plot by  shoe manufacturers to force the military to buy better suited footwear.

 

Injuries were the leading cause of medical encounters among military personnel. The rate of hospitalization for injuries was approximately 1000 per 100,000 person-years and, for injuries treated in outpatient clinics, 999 per 1000 person-years. The leading injury type resulting in hospitalization was fractures (40%) and the leading injury type resulting in outpatient visits was sprains and strains (49%). Leading causes of hospitalization were falls/near falls (17.5%), motor vehicle mishaps (15.4%), and sports (13.1%).

 

Conclusions

Injuries are the biggest health problem of the military services. Military medical surveillance data are useful for determining the magnitude and causes of the injury problem, identifying possible prevention targets, and monitoring of trends among military personnel.

At the same time that job numbers in the private sector keep exceeding expectations.  And they don't even have to be adjusted down retroactively every month.

 

 

The unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.2%.

 

Job numbers can be fiddled. Market indices and bond rates can't.
