As many as 150 US troops wounded so far in Iran war, sources say

1. Yeah, but just headaches.

Definitely not concussive trauma. Look over here now. Hey, we won.

Thanks, Israel, for another conflict we absolutely needed to be a part of... warfighting like its 2001.

2. Not good. But, better than the "thousands of Americans killed" Iranian propaganda was trying to tell us.

[mr715]

3. It is tough to live in this political reality.

Where I think back to the constitutional order albeit often outlaw Bush administration.

"Thousands of Americans killed" is a matter of time and perverse commitment. If the GOP administration has the desire to project neoconservative force again, those propaganda reports could easily become reality.

I don't think the GOP, and certainly not the modern Democratic party, have the will to sustain a war overseas when populist and isolationist impulses weigh heavy.

But, PeaceWave, you are right. Still not good. Could get worse. My faith is diminished.

4. We're getting half truths out of the White House and we're getting straight up lies out of Iran...

What happened to the days of the informed war correspondents?

[mr715]

5. Israel bombed them all.

6. To avoid the inevitable conspiracy theories

It should probably have been mentioned the source was the Pentagon.

[PeaceWave]

10. OP didn't provide a source.

11. They said Reuters

When I went to Reuters, the lead article was the Pentagon announcement of casualties. Normally, such posts include an excerpt of the article.

[PeaceWave]

12. These days, when someone posts "facts" without a link, I take it for granted that it's propaganda...

There's been just too much misinformation floating around.

[sarisataka]

13. The irony is the claim is true

But with all of the propaganda of casualty totals being concealed, the lack of providing the source of the figures seems remiss. Almost intentional.

DU should be above falsehood. There was a time we werw proud to be fact based. Republicans will provide adequate material to point out the ineptitude of this administration.

[PeaceWave]

15. I'm old school. I need a reputable news source with a link.

[Torchlight]

14. What do you make of it?

Peacewave: "There's been just too much misinformation floating around."

Purposeful and with intent, or simply laziness soon to be forgotten and deleted from the records?

7. Wounded often means loss of limbs

8. This WH needs to tell the truth

[harumph]

9. Pentagon claims 108 out of the 150 have returned to service.

Of course, take that with a huge grain of salt.
