The Pentagon said Monday approximately 200 U.S. service members have been wounded since the U.S. and Israeli war with Iran broke out. The “vast majority” of these injuries have been “minor” and over 180 troops have returned to duty, U.S. Central Command (Centcom) spokesperson, U.S. Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins, told The Hill in a statement.

The updated injury tally comes as the U.S. military has continued to strike Iranian drone storage facilities, missile launchers and military targets on Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf, departure point for about 90 percent of the country’s oil exports.

Iran has continued to retaliate by firing one-way attack drones and ballistic missiles at Israel, the U.S. outposts in the region and civilian targets in Gulf countries.

Last Tuesday, the Pentagon said that around 140 U.S. service members had been injured since the conflict broke out and that 108 had returned to duty. Pentagon top spokesperson Sean Parnell said at the time that eight service members were severely injured.

1. What is this "approximately" shit, and

"vast majority"? Someone at the Pentagon needs to be accounting for each and every one of their troops who are killed, wounded or captured. Most fundamental of their God Damn duties, along with feeding and equipping the troops, and training them.

Pitiful...

2. I'm losing confidence in our military strength, like I've never felt before. Are we as pathetic as Russia now?

Just an imperial force pirating other nations in the world? We're pathetic and our president looks like a pathetic delusional fool.

Sad times that are only going to get worse, I fear.
