Widow of airman killed in Mideast is upset she was told Iran wasn't a war while sorting out benefits

The widow of a U.S. airman killed on a combat mission in the Middle East has expressed frustration after being told by officials that the situation involving Iran did not constitute a war while she was attempting to sort out her husband's benefits. Maj. Alex Klinner was among the service members affected.

Months after her husband's death, the widow stated that it ultimately required a viral social media post to secure a resolution from the Pentagon regarding issues concerning basic pay and associated military benefits.
