    Strange that the USA media isn’t reporting on this scale of things at all

      Not that strange honestly. The government would hate to admit loudly via its own propaganda outlets to the world that “if you attack our bases even a little bit we will leave your country.” That sort of proclamation would lead to a clear victory strategy for pretty much everyone who wants the US military out of their country. So it makes sense that they would keep quiet about it.

      “We’re trying to go to war with Iran and China, not you guys!”

    I wonder what the casualty numbers look like, and what their families are being told. Even if somehow nobody is dead, that Iranian missile warning shot a while ago caused some concussive injuries just from hitting next to the base. If there have been 150 attacks, no way there aren’t a bunch of imperial troops in the region walking around with at least a TBI. I wonder if they’re allowed to tell their friends and families how they got them.

      Good question, statistically it seems quite probable that at least one of these strikes would’ve killed some US soldiers.
