Efforts to locate four missing US soldiers from Fort Stewart are intensifying as NATO has clarified that statements regarding their deaths were premature. Searching for the soldiers has proven challenging due to swampy terrain in Lithuania, where their vehicle was found submerged in water. The U.S. Army has reported that recovery operations will be long and complex, with both Lithuanian and Polish troops assisting in the search. The soldiers went missing during a training exercise near the border with Belarus, leading to heightened concerns and scrutiny, including commentary from former President Trump who stated he was not briefed on the situation. As the search continues, families remain hopeful for positive news.
