That's a lot of assumptions. I have family who have served on the sharp end and in the hospitals where the casualties come back. Is there an ounce of 'rah rah' jingoism in anything I wrote? Blanket statements about everyone in uniform is venting, not discussion. Which is fine if you need to vent.

The "lalalala everything is normal" crew are writing the war news. Quoting incoherent, data-free babble and covering it as if it were an acceptable statement of unremarkable quality is collaboration. It is already a hard year and will get harder, but this is the year we topple the regime.
NYT:
Here’s the latest.

Oil prices fell and U.S. stocks rose Monday afternoon, after President Trump told CBS News that the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran “is very complete, pretty much.”

Mr. Trump, who had predicted a duration of four or five weeks, said in a phone interview with the CBS reporter Weijia Jiang, “We’re very far ahead of schedule.”

His comments appeared to ease market fears of a prolonged war, and the resulting oil price spike and trade disruptions, that could badly wound the global economy. The international benchmark oil price, which had topped $90 on Friday, briefly jumped to almost $120, then fell after the Group of 7 wealthy nations said they were considering intervening to bring prices down, and fell again after Mr. Trump’s remarks, ending the day below $90.

The war has all but halted ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, the conduit for about one-fifth of the world’s oil.
