SALEM, MA - Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) released the following statement regarding the update from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) of three U.S. service members having been killed in action as of 9:30 AM ET, and five service members being seriously wounded. 

“On Saturday morning, Trump shrugged and said casualties ‘often happen in war’, and now they have. Our troops and Gold Star families deserve reverence, not callousness, and it’s not lost on many that Trump has called our troops 'suckers' for serving, 'losers' for dying, and attacked John McCain for getting captured in war. The very least that our troops and their families deserve is honesty and respect.

"As our hearts are with the fallen, and doctors tend to the wounded, it’s time to ensure, going forward, that our great young Americans on the front know why they’re risking their lives in this war of choice against Iran."
