Hey @stanrmitchell

Interesting that in your March 26 Apple Podcast you observed that all the persistent Iranian FPV drone presence over American bases was inconsistent with the low casualty figures coming from the DOD.

This Intercept piece by @nickturse.bsky.social details their research showing an under reporting of about 450 casualties for a total of 750 American casualties as of today. Your analysis and their research seem spot on!
