Another U.S. service member has died under Joe Biden’s watch - this time, in support of the president’s multi-million-dollar vanity project to bring humanitarian aid to a terrorist-run pseudo-state in order to appease left-wing Hamas sympathizers in the U.S.
At only 23 years old, Sgt. Quandarius Davon Stanley passed away this week from injuries he sustained while working in support of Biden’s ill-fated pier off the Gaza Strip, a $240 million project that was scrapped after just four months and an embarrassing litany of problems. In fact, the pier was only functional for a total of 20 days before the whole effort was canned, having been used to deliver just over 19 million pounds of aid, much of which most likely ended up in the hands of Hamas terrorists anyway.

But in addition to the insane cost to the U.S. taxpayer, the human price the administration agreed to pay for the project turned out to be exponentially higher. Stanley was one of three U.S. military members who were injured during the project, though the details of those injuries haven't been made public. While the other two troops suffered minor injuries, Stanley’s were severe enough to render him unfit for future military service, and he was medically retired from his unit, CNN reports. He was transported to the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, back in June, before passing away on October 31.
CNN adds:
A recent report from the Government Accountability Office found that US Army watercraft — which carried out the pier mission — are poorly maintained and experiencing a low state of readiness due to “aging vessels, supply shortages, and obsolete parts.”
But it’s more important to spend hundreds of millions in taxpayer cash on ill-designed floating piers and material support to terrorist countries than to make sure the ships we’re using to ferry our troops into harm’s way are safe enough to bring them home alive.
