“Iran’s retaliatory strikes have rendered many of America’s 13 military bases in the Gulf region “all but uninhabitable,” forcing U.S. military service members to work remotely from hotels and office spaces, The New York Times reported Thursday.

Within the first two weeks of the war, Iran’s attacks on U.S. military bases caused an estimated $800 million in damage, according to a report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a BBC analysis.

When the war began, there were close to 40,000 troops in the region. Now some of them have been removed as far as Europe, while many struggle to prosecute a work-from-home war.”

This part is *chefs kiss* because Israel typically uses the “human shield” excuse to explain away indiscriminate violence against civilians.

“Iranian officials have accused the U.S. troops holed up in hotel rooms of using civilians as human shields.”

@drahardja

If you have a military base should it not be defended?

If you knew a war was coming would you not increase that defense?

Sorry, WTF do I know? I'm just a civillian.
