Relatives of U.S. paratroopers deployed to Kuwait amid heightening tensions with Iran have been receiving “menacing” messages on social media, prompting an alert this week from the U.S. Army to family members of service members, according to reports. The 82nd Airborne Division out of Fort Bragg, N.C., reminded family members to limit who is able to see social media posts after some received pro-Iranian messages. One message warned them to “Go back to your country," according to The Military Times. “Families have reported instances where they have received unsolicited contact with some menacing messaging,” Lt. Col. Mike Burns, a division spokesman, told the Times. “If you like your life and you want to see your family again, pack up your stuff right now and leave the Middle East," the message read.
