US Army Says 20 Soldiers Died in Training Accidents over Past Year
 

TEHRAN (FNA)- Twenty US army soldiers died in training accidents over the last year, while another 70 were seriously injured, according to statistics obtained by The Washington Examiner.

The casualties represent a slight increase over 2018, when 18 soldiers died and 66 were injured in training accidents.

"Military training is inherently dangerous, and while any loss of life is tragic, it is difficult to reduce the numbers to zero," retired Army Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr, who directs the Heritage Foundation's Center for National Defense, Told the Washington Examiner.
