CENTCOM Update

TAMPA, Fla. – As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury.

Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.

The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified.

3. Yes it is, and unfortunately I am afraid a lot more people, especially civillians will be killed before this is over.

6. If we get into a prolonged armed conflict with Iran, and it involves a land war

We had better get used to days when we lose 3 dead being days being days of "negligible losses."

Republican regimes in recent history have known not to attack countries that shoot back (Iraq was a mistake, not an exception). If Trump thought that Iran would make an exception for him, he is sorely mistaken.
