Trump has destroyed Iran's military, he's said, the war is 'pretty much' done. Just a few more weeks, now that it's... over. Iran's military has been destroyed and "have no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100 percent annihilated... We are unstoppable as a military force.”

So I sure hope they figure out who shot down that F-15 and A-10 since there's no way it was Iran. Which also caused the US to have to blow up two more aircraft that got stuck during the rescue operation.

“Casualty Cover-Up”: The Pentagon Is Hiding U.S. Losses Under Trump in the Middle East

The Pentagon has sent outdated statements on the number of U.S. troops killed or wounded during the Iran War, resulting in undercounts.

Glad to see an outlet looking into this. The numbers have seemed... suspicious to me for weeks now.

Reporting accurate and timely information to the public is a core function of government. This includes death and causality numbers from the military, pandemic statistics, economic and population statistics, and the presidential papers covered by national records act.

Trump has systematically ignored and undermined this function of government.

You might say he's "running it like a business" (a shady one) --why should he give us information that makes him look bad?

This. A thousand times this.
