But it's war, accidents happen. Easy to say that.

But a consequence of war, sadly.

If there's a good thing about this war, it's possibly the downfall of the Mullahs and of the clown prince circus of the Trump regime, who leapt into this war thinking it would end overnight.

The irony is that in neutralising the Iranian regime he might neutralise himself to his loyalists. The Americans who don't want their American kids dying in pointless wars.

I'm not American but I have two military age boys. If I was American I'd be worried.

Roughly two weeks into this with a foe that has many advantages. Their navy is gone. Their Air Force is missing in action. Targets have been struck ahead of the Pentagon’s initial schedule. This isn’t a Nintendo shoot em up war game that lasts an hour, so it’ll never be as fast as the attention span of many pprune readers.

Trump himself, in a lucid moment counseled that this wasn’t an overnight operation. I didn’t want this war, but it’s here and has to be prosecuted to the fullest. That will take time, there will be more US KIA I imagine, but it must be completed, the media and the US bashers aside
