Saying we've only had 2 wounded in the war with Iran is a gross underestimate. You have to include incidents that happened elsewhere in the region due to the war.

The official figures, and those of the rescue operation where 7 planes were shot down/destroyed and zero official KIAs. are not credible.

The injured and KIAs were probably recorded as training accidents.

Victor Davis Hanson says 15,000 sorties, 14 KIA.

FWIW, if you actually listen to their content, Favreau and the Pod Save guys have long been critical of the US relationship with Israel. They didn't want Dems to lose an election over it, but they were not pro-Israel guys before 2024.

But I don't have any numbers on Chicago residents killed or MIA in other blue cities.

That is the official number, I doubt it is true.

I understand you needed the US airman captured to bump up the numbers.

Where are the other deaths, on US international bases? Have those bases taken extensive damage?

Huh? There's nothing in your earlier post that said these numbers are conditional on whether the soldiers involved were captured by Iran. The airman was injured in the crash. He was injured despite the US rescuing him safely and would have been injured if Iran had captured him.

Looks like the liberals here wish more American soldiers were killed so there arguments could have kernels of truth.

You should clean your spectacles. I highly doubt anyone around here really wants to see American soldiers killed.

I see that some of the people who witheringly criticized Joe Biden's every move have now eagerly taken on an "America: love it or leave it" stance when their guy is in office.

And wait until Scott Weiner enters national politics.

He helped legalize streetwalking. So now we have women and girls walking International Blvd and elsewhere in lingerie and 4" heels in broad daylight, which families and children have to see every day.

Why are Dems calling for Swalwell to drop out of the race but not his current office?

The Republicans needed that gay GOP member for real.

Leftist mouthpiece James Carville has been de-platformed from both YouTube and TikTok for hate speech.

The ban came after Mr. Carville openly called for President Trump's assassination during his recent podcast.

"Not only would I welcome it," said Carville, "I'd donate to the defense fund of whoever did it."
