    There is a lot of talk on foreign news sites that way more U.S soldiers have been killed. All U.S bases in Iran were bombed. Yet only 6 U.S people killed?

    That’s not how that works.

    Mexico and India news says reports were around 500-600 U.S troops.

    Gop hiding it so it’s not so obvious to us how much they fucked up so that Congress won’t be as pressured to stop them. If the American people knew it was 500 casualties already from poor strategy, there would be more outrage.

    Considering that the current administration lies about literally everything, I’ll trust foreign news more.

      Naaah. That’s fanciful tabloidism.

      Bases are large. They have hardened bunkers. Iranian missiles and drones are crude. Anyone non-essential would have been evacuated before this all started.

      Hundreds - even dozens would be impossible to keep quiet.

        Israel hid a lot of atrocities for decades.

        The u.s government basically controls all major news because a single family now owns it all.

        You all realize they do lie about everything. ?

        Why would you trust ,“6”. ?

          Because these hundreds of dead soldiers were hatched in a military facility and never had family, friends, neighbours or bank managers. Or you’re saying thousands of people will just not notice?

            I’m saying it’s going to take more than 3 days for people’s families to figure it out

                It will be a bigger deal than you might think. It could help pressure Congress to stop the war.

                Maybe not. But maybe.

      duno 500 seams high.

      Iranian missiles/drones are not very precise, and they take a while to get there, usualy enough warning time to run from a exposted position to the next bunker.

      US bases are huge, just cuz something impacts somewhere on it dosent mean a human is nearby.

      I kinda doubt they could even hide 500 dead, even if they tryed.

        It’s definitely more than 6.

        I bet its a few hundred.

          few hundred…no just no.

          For every kia u have multipe wounded, and i dont see spikes in wounded transports to military hospitals in europe (usual extraction route for usa wounded in the middle east). If there where 500 dead it would mean 2k wounded and thay would mean constant helicopter medivac flights from airports to hospitals in europe…feel free to check historical data of flight radar (public info) on that.

          Let me know if u come up with some facts that actually have data speaking for em.

            Is there anywhere else US soldiers could be treated more quietly, e.g. navy hospitals, nearby Arab States or Israel?

              Arab hospitals are considered a security risk and israel probably dosent has the capacity that nato nations can provide, the extraction route was developed during the gulf wars and the afghan war and i would wonder if they would suddenly change that

                They’ve had no problem suddenly changing everything else for no good reason.

          I bet its a few hundred.

          I’d happily take that bet, but I’d like to know what source you’d trust for the final figure.

            Foreign news is saying Iran has stated they bombed all U.S bases. They report 500 casualties. Would they exaggerate ?

            Probably.

            Would they turn 6 into 500. Not likely.

            Would department of defence lie to conceal how badly they fucked up ? 100%

            Even if both are lying, the middle is still a few hundred.

            I still don’t understand why any of you would trust what the trump or hegseth says.

            But I can tell you that soldiers are not allowed to leak information all the time about on going operations.

            We don’t hear details about most things like this until years later.

            And I do believe they can hide death counts easily in the short term.

            I trust foreign news over U.S news. And you should too.

              I’ve never watched US news. What’s your “foreign news” source?
