KIA and casualties are not getting nearly enough attention from the media. This should be the first question posed to Trump or Hegseth at every single press opportunity.


Google the White House and DOD press corps. They are all maga.


MAGA doesn’t care about KIA and troop casualties?


Only when a democrat is in the White House. 13 known KIAs is more than Benghazi or Afghanistan withdrawal. Not a peep from maga republicans and this is all Trump’s incompetence.

Funny Iran said they were not negotiating with the US? Now you say they are? I believe the Iranians.

A second plane is down now:

NEWS: A second U.S. Air Force combat aircraft has gone down in the Persian Gulf region, per NYT. Officials say an A-10 Warthog crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, with the pilot safely rescued. This comes as an F-15E was shot down over Iran—one crew member recovered, search ongoing for another.

We control 100% of the airspace.But the 0% is fighting back.

If you’re actually observing this shitshow (embarrassments emerging every day, the blatant lies and double speak, the delusions of grandeur in every speech, the sheer incompetence, and the request for a y-o-y increase of 40% in our already bloated defense budget), and you’re OK with where everything stands and not yet at the point of checking yourself into a mental health clinic, you are DEFINITELY part of this growing problem.

And the solution to that problem will need to hold you accountable, too.

Link to where it’s been disproven? I wasn’t able to find.

This is starting to sound like Russia-Ukraine.

If this war of choice continues then Hegseth is going to be our on his rump. In fact, I predict he is gone by end this month.

Apparently the Iranians took out an F15, IGRC has posted photos of the ejection seat.

Iran reports it has apprehended one of the pilots. The other pilot is still being pursued.


Has Trump gone on tv to call them losers yet, or does he need to wait for confirmation of their capture or death?


No trump is still talking about how Israel and the US own the sky over Iran. The truth is very few missions are over Iran. We stand off and fire long range missiles. Now we have depleted the stocks of those and have to use glide bombs. This means we have to actually go into Iranian airspace.

The US can not afford to continue to lose planes at this rate. We are losing about a plane a day and this does not include all the predator class drones that have been shot down. Yesterday Iran hit US pilot quarters is Saudi Arabia. A lot of wounded reported. No word on if they were pilots. One would hope the US military would have bunkers in a major base established 80 years ago. Does not look like we did.

The US military has been asleep for 20 years and it is showing.


Trump's Israel-driven boondoggle is getting Americans killed and revealing to the world how weak the military has become of decades of neglect. It's tragic.
Just as Russia's campaign in Ukraine showed its weakness!


The parallels are disturbing, and we are stupid to not have recognized the (very obvious) lessons.

We keep following Russia's military mistakes. Russia went into Afghanistan and left defeated. We went into Afghanistan and left defeated.

Our military is not weak. We just aren't omnipotent. The problem is that Hegseth has crappy tactics and strategy.

We could easily defeat anyone if it's done smart. With Hegseth in charge he just throws our weapons at his opponent.

I could have Mike Tyson's body, but if I don't know how to fight, any skilled boxer would kick my a$$.


DP. No the US military is built on very expensive weapons systems that can not be replaced. The loss of 5-7 USAF refueling tankers, an AWACS, early warning radars, etc shows our vulnerabilities. These losses have really impacted what the US can do.

Why was an AWACS and refueling tankers parked out in the open? How stupid does someone have to be to do this after what the Ukrainians did to Russia. Iranian drones/missiles hit the airbase and taking out billion dollar radars? Then 5 tankers were hit and after that you leave an AWACS on the same base out in the open? Sounds like a competent operation.

The US military are unprepared to fight a modern war. Our ground troops will get crushed if they invade Iran. The US military has not trained against drones. We should have paid attention to what is going on in the Ukraine Russia war.

If US ground troops are deployed we will see videos of US soldiers running from Iran drones. Ukraine post similar videos of drones chasing down Russians.

It's not hard when the military head is an incompetent, unqualified, narcissistic, alcoholic. Nobody will be able to convince me that Drunk Petey is not sipping from a flask about now. The stress is getting the best of him.

A French container ship was allowed to pass the Straight of Hormuz. Another, co-owned by Japan and Oman, was also able to pass. Previously, ships allowed to pass only if they were from Iran-friendly nations, and even so, at considerable risk. It is understood that both French and Japanese ships paid the required fee, but not known whether it was in Yuan or not.

This is a sign that Iran has established a systematic approach to monetizing the Straight and is willing to take business from anyone who isn't actively raining missiles on them.

Before the war... travel through the Straight was free. Thank you, Trump.

His defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, quickly repeated his boss’s words on social media.

“Back to the Stone Age,” Mr. Hegseth wrote.

Well Drunk Petey just bombed the civilian bridge that is strategically important to the Iranian people. I pray there are no sleeper Iranian cells in this country who are willing to be activated. Sigh.
