US Army says soldier who suffered non-combat injury during Gaza pier operation has died

He stepped forward and gave all. It should not have been demanded just to feed a senile old man’s ego.
[IsraelTimes] A US Army soldier who was in critical condition after suffering non-combat injuries while supporting the military’s pier off the coast of Gaza earlier this year has died, the US military says.

Sergeant Quandarius Davon Stanley, who recently retired from the military, suffered critical injuries in May while supporting operations at sea of the US-built pier designed to increase flows of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip amid Israel’s war with the Hamas terror group.

In a statement, the US Army confirms that Stanley had died, though it does not specify when. He was receiving treatment in a long-term care medical center.

“Stanley was an instrumental and well respected first line leader in the 7th Transportation Brigade Expeditionary (TBX), especially during the mission to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza,” Colonel John “Eddie” Gray, commander of the unit, says.

Three US troops sustained non-combat injuries during the pier operation, but the other two suffered minor injuries and have returned to duty.
