Wounded soldiers, families accuse army, Pete Hegseth of downplaying war injuries Questions are growing over how the US military has described injuries suffered by American troops after an Iran-linked drone strike, with wounded soldiers and their families accusing the army of minimising the severity of what happened.The issue has also brought fresh attention to comments made in March by defence secretary Pete Hegseth, who said that “almost 90%” of around 400 injured US service members had only minor injuries and had returned to duty. Some families now say that description does not match what they were told or what soldiers are still dealing with.According to interviews given to CBS News, troops injured in a March 1 drone strike in Kuwait say their conditions were far worse.Chief warrant officer Rodney Bearman was working at Port of Shuaiba when a drone hit his station. Medical records seen by CBS News show he suffered shrapnel wounds across his body, concussion, hearing and vision loss,..

'Raise crows and they will pluck out your eyes' More than a proverb, this is a warning passed down through generations about expecting ingratitude when you pour your kindness into the wrong place. The image is unsettling. A person nurtures a young crow, feeding and protecting it until it grows strong. Yet instead of gratitude, the bird turns against its benefactor and attacks the very eyes that once watched over it.The proverb has survived for centuries because it expresses a painful reality of human relationships: kindness does not always inspire gratitude. Sometimes the people we help, teach, support, or raise become the source of our deepest disappointments.Is helping others dangerous?At first glance, the proverb may appear cynical. It seems to suggest that helping others is dangerous. Yet its true lesson is more nuanced. It is not a condemnation of generosity. Rather, it is a caution about human nature, expectations, and the complex relationship between kindness and loyal..

A Redditor shared US visa interview (tourist visa) experience in Delhi. An individual wants a tourist visa to the US to watch the FIFA final. The visa officer asks him whether he watched last night's match. The answer is negative. Then the visa officer asks whether he watched any match at all. No is again the answer. And no prize to guess that the applicant's visa application is denied. A Redditor shared his visa interview experience at the Delhi Consulate, where his visa was approved, but he witnessed several rejections in front of him and revealed how obvious those rejections were, as the applicants were not convincing about their purpose of travel — like the sports fan who did not watch any match but wanted to travel to the US to watch the final.The Redditor cited another case where the applicant said he wanted to spend 3 days in New York and 4 days in Chicago. He was asked why he chose New York. The applicant said 'because it's famous'. The visa applicatio..
