    One can object to how it is used but one has to admit that the US military is very well run, highly competent and professional. For years, the US military has been focused on minimizing civilian casualties because they know that the only way to win a war or survive and occupation is to he able to count on local assistance.

    Trump and his cronies just want to blow shit up, and that tactic is going to cost a lot of lives for all sides of this conflict.

    Expect terrorist attacks domestically and Americans targeted abroad. That’s all.on Trump and the GOP.

      Well they’ve killed something like 2000 Iranians and spent $50B so far. So that’s about $2.5M per life.
