At Dover Air Force Base, behind the solemn rituals and folded flags, Donald Trump says the families of six fallen soldiers all asked him for the same thing: “Finish the job.” Their loved ones were killed when an unmanned aircraft struck a command center in Kuwait, part of a spiraling conflict following U.S.-Israeli strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader. For those parents, the unbearable loss hardened into a demand that their children’s deaths not be in vain.His retelling of that moment now hangs over a war he insists is “very complete” and ahead of schedule, even as Iran’s missiles and drones still lash out across the region. To some, the families’ plea sounds like resolve; to others, a tragic echo of every war that promised an ending and delivered only more names to read at Dover.
