    People vastly underestimate how often military folk get injured. And I am not just saying that because of my complete and utter disdain for the strong arm of an imperialist nation (now the right hand of a rapist). Traffic accidents while they are driving around, heat stroke, and even just shooting themselves in the foot either on purpose or by accident.

    So don’t assume all of this is from iran’s retalliatory strikes (and the inevitable friendly fire). Odds are most of these are idiots who “fell off the aircraft carrier” as it were.

      I saw 3 guys in a row get hurt by jumping out of the back of a 5 ton truck with full body armor and rucksacks before they started taking the little ladder.
