If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending. www.businesstoday.in/amp/world/st...

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.
