One of the three soldiers injured, 23-year-old Sgt. Quandarius Davon Stanley,\u00a0 during Biden’s Hamas Pier mission has died of his injuries.<\/p>\n
Stanley was from Marion, South Carolina and served as a motor transport operator assigned to the 7th Transportation Brigade Expeditionary at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia. The brigade is one of the service\u2019s few watercraft-focused units.<\/p>\n
Stanley joined the Army in July 2020 as a motor transport operator, according to his service record. He was medically retired by his unit on October 25 because his injuries meant he would be unable to continue military service, a defense official said. He died on October 31.<\/p>\n
Stanley was one of three soldiers who were injured in May while supporting the Army\u2019s mission to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The other two soldiers have since returned to duty.<\/p>\n
In June, the deputy commander of U.S. Central Command reported that two soldiers on the mission suffered a sprained ankle and a minor back injury, respectively.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear how exactly Stanley was injured, though officials have emphasized that it was not combat related. Stanley\u2019s injury \u2014 as well as the minor injuries of the two other troops \u2014 were first confirmed by Vice Adm. Bradley Cooper, deputy commander of US Central Command, who told reporters in May one individual was \u201cundergoing care at an Israeli local hospital. He was injured out on a ship at sea.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The military can be hazardous even when not in combat. It’s even worse when losing people over a political stunt.<\/p>\n
The pier mission was a highly visible effort by the Biden administration to get more humanitarian aid into Gaza amid Israel\u2019s war with Hamas. Due to repeated logistical and weather issues, the pier was only operational for a total of roughly 20 days, and delivered 19.4 million pounds of aid.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Seems a lot of emphasis in some articles on the lack of preparedness of his unit, which seems inappropriate to concentrate on here. God speed, SGT Stanley.<\/p>\n
