The US mash-up with Iran has all media outlets reporting all aspects of this conflict….the good the bad and the ugly.
I have found very little about the war started by Donny and his Israeli handlers that I can say is good….most of the news is bad and in many ways….then the is the ugly and that is what this post is about….
There are a few situations about this war that get very little coverage and this is one that is seriously lacking in complete coverage….
More than 750 US service members have been wounded since the US launched its war of aggression on Iran on 28 February, according to Defense Department casualty data updated on 19 August.
The update added more than 50 wounded US soldiers to the Pentagon’s war casualty database, bringing the official total to 757 wounded and 18 killed.
Those figures are drawn from two separate entries in the Pentagon’s Defense Casualty Analysis System, combining the totals listed under “Overseas Operations” with those recorded for Operation Epic Fury.
…
The Pentagon has not specified which war the Overseas Operations casualties relate to, nor where or how the personnel were killed or wounded, prompting further questions about the transparency of its reporting.

This is a disservice by trying to hide the numbers….these are Americans serving their country and should be treated with more respect.
Is this what society has come to….I thought when we legalized gambling that it would become a frankenstein and so it is….
A small number of gamblers have made $8 million placing military and defense-related bets on the Polymarket prediction site, most placed by about 150 accounts that almost always bet correctly. The researchers say they suspect the accounts are linked to military insiders who could be flagged for law enforcement as “the most likely potential insiders,” researchers said in a new report.
When the most successful of those accounts bet on unlikely military events, researchers found, they won virtually every single time.
“Traders acting on specialized, non-public information possess an edge that is valuable only within a limited set of markets, and that produces win rates difficult to attribute to luck,” researchers with the Anti-Corruption Data Collective said in a new report released Thursday. The researchers studied the small number of bettors who met two criteria: ”The concentration of their betting within less than 100 markets and two topics, and unusual accuracy (over 75%) of their longshot bets.”
The same research group published a report in April that found a high risk of insider trading on military-related Polymarkets after observing that “longshot” bets on military operations won 52% of the time, which was four times more often than other types of markets.
