The Trump administration submitted a $87.6 billion supplemental funding request to Congress, addressing costs related to the Iran war, an Ebola outbreak in Central Africa, and support for American farmers. Most funding, approximately $67 billion, is earmarked for the Pentagon, with significant allocations for munitions and operational costs.
Chief Warrant Officer Rodney Bearman, injured in an Iranian drone strike on March 1, has been classified by the Army as “not seriously injured,” despite suffering severe shrapnel wounds, a concussion, and respiratory damage. Some injured soldiers claim their injuries are being downplayed, a statement the Army has strongly contested.
