The claim that soldiers have been killed in a Texas border crisis is false, and I imagine that's why the video and account has been terminated. The only mention of any deaths by news coverage is about a helicopter crash that killed two guards and a report about the deaths of 17 guards but those are drownings, negligent care of firearms and suicides. The use of killed here makes me think that they were killed by someone which is not true. However, multiple deaths have occurred, but that is because of failings withing the system.

False
