    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.

            Arab hospitals are considered a security risk and israel probably dosent has the capacity that nato nations can provide, the extraction route was developed during the gulf wars and the afghan war and i would wonder if they would suddenly change that

          It’s been a few days. It’s not always easy to reach service members.

          How would they know?

          It will take another week or two before we start learning the real numbers.

              It’s only been a week. Don’t get me wrong, time’s going to run out when the can keep it quiet, but we’re not there yet.
