    duno 500 seams high.

    Iranian missiles/drones are not very precise, and they take a while to get there, usualy enough warning time to run from a exposted position to the next bunker.

    US bases are huge, just cuz something impacts somewhere on it dosent mean a human is nearby.

    I kinda doubt they could even hide 500 dead, even if they tryed.

        few hundred…no just no.

        For every kia u have multipe wounded, and i dont see spikes in wounded transports to military hospitals in europe (usual extraction route for usa wounded in the middle east). If there where 500 dead it would mean 2k wounded and thay would mean constant helicopter medivac flights from airports to hospitals in europe…feel free to check historical data of flight radar (public info) on that.

        Let me know if u come up with some facts that actually have data speaking for em.

        I bet its a few hundred.

        I’d happily take that bet, but I’d like to know what source you’d trust for the final figure.

          Foreign news is saying Iran has stated they bombed all U.S bases. They report 500 casualties. Would they exaggerate ?

          Probably.

          Would they turn 6 into 500. Not likely.

          Would department of defence lie to conceal how badly they fucked up ? 100%

          Even if both are lying, the middle is still a few hundred.

          I still don’t understand why any of you would trust what the trump or hegseth says.

          But I can tell you that soldiers are not allowed to leak information all the time about on going operations.

          We don’t hear details about most things like this until years later.

          And I do believe they can hide death counts easily in the short term.

          I trust foreign news over U.S news. And you should too.
