Almost every comment laments the lost American souls while the lost Iranian souls likely number higher by a factor of 10-20! I don’t diminish the tragedy of lost Americans, but come on folks, we should all be grieving all human lives lost.

Service members do not have the option of saying No, regardless of the 'don't follow illegal orders' quagmire Numbers hit different when they reflect loss of life from service vs profit

everybody needs a job, but not everyone needs to serve obviously fascist governments. My heart goes out to anyone who gets injured or killed by their employers' bad actions, but the Death Star rule applies in times like these. You may make it out alive and even avoid prosecution in Nuremberg 2.0

Those newly added have to be routine slip-and-falls or accidents with sharp kitchen knives. Otherwise we would have heard about any injuries due to Iranian military strikes. This is the most transparent administration ever, and Mitch McConnell will soon be addressing that from the Senate floor.
