Gulf War No.37: Iranistan

[Pblakeney]

I'd like to see a true tally. Sporadic reports since day one have had a few here and there that will add up. And that's only the ones that they are admitting to. Certainly dozens if not more hospitalised too.

Some figures...
… WaPo’s Pentagon reporter Dan Lamothe: “The Pentagon has updated its online casualty database to reflect that 18 service members have died and 447 have been injured since the beginning of the war with Iran. It previously said that 14 had died and 427 were injured.”

I’m trying to work out how this happened when the Iranian military has been obliterated multiple times according to the Supreme Commander

Iran was playing peek a boo, or peek a boom there where just hiding.

The Iran adventure is deeply unpopular in the US, including increasingly, republicans.

Playing with the numbers by pretending it is 2 different conflicts

More than 600 US military service members injured since Iran War began in February

Last week, the Pentagon revised its figures on those injured and killed in the war, taking the names of four who died in Operation Epic Fury and moving them to the death count for Overseas Operations.

On the Pentagon's Defense Analysis Casualty System, the death count for Operation Epic Fury, the name given to the initial attack, was listed at 18 as late as Tuesday, and 482 wounded.

At some point, four of those names were removed, and on Thursday the death toll was reduced to 14.

The four deceased soldiers' names now appear on Overseas Operations, which says it measures "casualties starting July 7th 2026". They are the only four listed deaths.

Things not looking good for American Navy. With suggestions that 200 days at sea and poor living conditions are taking their toll.

…and that’s just from the stories managing to get out.

Don't worry, the officer class will still be dining on quail, steak and good wine.
