Published | Video Starts at 01:48

First, I want to express my condolences and my Respect for the 17American service members killed in this war since February, including three over the past few days. Their lives are the price this country has paid for this war. War. The deadliest day for US forces was on March 1, when an Iranian drone struck an army facility at Port sha, Kuwait, killing six soldiers and injuring more than 30 others, including soldiers from Wisconsin. Soldiers from the unit stationed at Port told reporters that the facility did not have adequate air defense capabilities. These soldiers and their families believe they were sent into harm's way without the defenses they needed. (01:48–02:09)
