Slain Soldiers' Families Speak Out After Pentagon Pete Frames Them as PR Problem [View all]

The families of U.S. service members killed in Donald Trump’s war against Iran have gone public with tributes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth raged about coverage of their deaths making “the president look bad.”

Sgt. Declan Coady, of Iowa, was the youngest of the six soldiers killed at just 20 years old, and his sister, Kiera, tearfully told reporters he was just two months shy of turning 21.

“It’s hard to say anything because those that don’t know him will just know him as another person that died in combat and their lives will go on,” she said, adding that it still didn’t feel “real.”

“I just remember all of our conversations about what he was going to do when he came back,” she said, calling the night when the family learned of his death “one of the worst nights of our lives.”
