Army’s swamp tragedy shows America who our friends are
By Peter Doran
Published April 1, 2025, 6:40 p.m. ET
 
When four US soldiers were killed in Lithuania last week during a routine Army maintenance mission, we learned once again why America needs highly capable allies in Europe who share our values.

Three of our closest friends — Lithuania, Poland and Estonia — jumped into the mud to help us in the grim recovery effort and bring our fallen soldiers home.

The lost Americans were driving their M88 Hercules armored recovery vehicle through marshy ground near Pabradė, Lithuania.
 
Operating at night, their heavy vehicle sank into a peat bog under more than 10 feet of water and 6 feet of mud.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
