Biden Gaza Pier Fiasco Left 62 US Forces Injured, One Dead and Caused $31M In Damages: Report; Biden’s Gaza ‘Aid’ Pier Injured 62 Americans And Killed 1, A Crumbling Monument To Wasteful Spending

Biden Gaza pier fiasco left 62 US forces injured, one dead and caused $31M in damages: report:

Former President Joe Biden’s failed floating Gaza pier plan left 62 US personnel injured, one service member dead and caused at least $31 million in damage to military equipment, according to a scathing Pentagon watchdog report that found the Army and Navy failed to properly plan, train for, prepare for and coordinate the mission.

The project, which Biden announced during his 2024 State of the Union address amid mounting protests on the left over Israel’s war against Hamas, sought to deliver humanitarian aid to the terrorist-controlled enclave — but ultimately was functional for just 20 days before being abandoned.

The Defense Department Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG) report, released late Tuesday, found that the military services were not adequately prepped for the mission — dubbed Operation Neptune Solace — but the project moved ahead despite the Army and Navy facing “low equipment mission-capable rates and low manning and training levels.”

“The Army and Navy did not allocate sufficient maintenance, manning, [or] training,” according to the report, which also found that the services “did not organize, train, and equip to a common joint standard” for the so-called “joint logistics over-the-shore” (JLOTS) operation.

The disjointed nature of the effort contributed to 27 watercraft and other paraphernalia suffering damage costing $31 million to repair, the report found, as “Army- and Navy-specific equipment, including watercraft, piers, and causeways, as well as command, control, and communications systems was not interoperable.”

This week’s report follows a similar review by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) Office of the Inspector General from August 2024 — which found Biden charged ahead with the $230 million pier despite the urgings of multiple federal aid workers. —>READ MORE HERE

Biden’s Gaza ‘Aid’ Pier Injured 62 Americans And Killed 1, A Crumbling Monument To Wasteful Spending:

In addition to building costs, the boondoggle also “caused at least $31 million in damage to military equipment.”

President Joe Biden’s floating pier — which was touted as a way to get humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza — resulted in the death of one American service member and injuries to 62 more, damaging $31 million worth of military equipment in the process.

A new report from the Pentagon Inspector General — which was published on Tuesday — revealed that far more service members had been injured than previously indicated. The report also noted the extent of the damage to military equipment despite the fact that the pier was not even operational for a full three weeks.

Biden announced his administration’s plan to build the pier during his 2024 State of the Union Address in March, and as was noted in a review published in August of 2024 by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) Office of the Inspector General, he had ignored warnings from federal aid workers and pushed ahead with the $230 million project anyway.

Biden had promised that the pier would allow for the delivery of enough food and supplies to sustain some 1.5 million Palestinian civilians for several months — but before the project was abandoned, less than one-third of that had been delivered.

“One of the biggest Biden embarrassments – the half baked Gaza Aid Pier. $230 million. 20 days in use. And now we find out it injured 60+ US soldiers. One soldier died! All to placate terrorists & their sympathizers in the Democratic Party. Insane scandal,” CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings said. —>READ MORE HERE
