"SNIP.....

“Nearly one dozen American troops were wounded in Iran’s Jan. 8 missile attack on Iraq’s al-Asad air base. This week, they were medically evacuated to U.S. military hospitals in Kuwait and Landstuhl, Germany, to be treated for traumatic brain injury and to undergo further evaluation,” Defense One reports.

Senior military and Trump administration officials had said on Jan. 8 that 11 Iranian missiles had caused “no casualties, no friendly casualties, whether they are U.S., coalition, contractor, et cetera.”

How long before that changes?

They lie just to lie. They lied because they didn’t want to look weak. And Trump wanted to brag.

So sick and wrong.

he would have had to make a decision to escalate. I don't think he's capable of making such a snap decision.

when troops are injured or killed, what will they tell us?

They control the flow of information. They are running anyone who would whistleblow out. Will we even know when they kill more innocent people?
