More than a dozen United States servicemen have died in six separate aviation accidents over the past three weeks. Seven died just last week.
The accidents are becoming more commonplace, and according to a new study from the Military Times, there’s a reason for that: Defense budget cuts that came under former President Barack Obama’s command.

The study concluded that from 2013 to 2017, military aviation accidents rose 40 percent while doubling for Navy and Marine F/A-18 pilots, the Times reported.
The accidents resulted in the deaths of 133 military personnel.
