I now believe the US Base in Bahrain was destroyed two weeks ago and NPR got wind of this through sailors returning to the US in need of toiletries.

I also think that is why so many military brass were removed from duty this week. Today's speculation about hospitalization is a distant second.

Feel free to reply after you read the article. Also chef's kiss that this is coming from NPR.

@noondlyt Indeed. I mean traditionally I would presume the US government would understand the long term impossibility of hiding mass casualties in a war and why the blowback for trying to do that would massively outweigh the benefits. But these guys are assclowns and seem to take their cues from a government of Israel that does this shit all the time, so now I'm not so sure.
