US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

Iran Timeline: Every “Trump Victory” in Operation Epic Fury

🟥 January 18: “Iranian patriots, help is on the way. We are moving.”

🟥 February 28: “We will start Operation Decisive. Everything will go very fast.”

🟥 March 2: “We will easily win.”

🟥 March 3: “We have won the war.”

🟥 March 7: “We have defeated Iran.”

🟥 March 12: “We won, but not completely yet.”

🟥 March 13: “We have won the war again.”

🟥 March 14: “We need help to open the Strait.”

🟥 March 15: “If you don’t help me, I will remember it.”

🟥 March 16: “Actually, we don’t need help — I tested loyalty. If NATO doesn’t help, there will be consequences.”

🟥 March 17: “We don’t need NATO’s help, and we don’t want it. Congressional approval to leave NATO is not required.”

🟥 March 18: “Allies must cooperate to open the Strait of Hormuz.”

🟥 March 19: “US allies must step in and help open the Strait.”

🟥 March 20: “NATO are cowards. We can slowly get rid of it.”

🟥 March 21: “We will not use the Strait. It is needed by others, not us.”

🟥 March 22: “Final warning. Iran has 48 hours. Iran is finished.”

🟥 March 23: “One more week — then we will start bombing power plants.”

🟥 March 24: “The war is close to ending.”

🟥 March 25: “We are negotiating with Iran.”

🟥 March 26: “Iran begs for peace. They gave us a gift. We are postponing strikes on power plants.”

🟥 March 27: “I and the Ayatollah will jointly manage the Strait of Hormuz.”

🟥 March 28: “A regime change occurred in Iran.”

🟥 March 29: “Negotiations with Iran are going very well.”

🟥 March 30: “We are ready to destroy Iran’s oil and energy infrastructure and occupy Kharg Island.”

🟥 March 31: “We are ready to end the war without opening the Strait.”

🟥 April 1: “The war will end in three days. We will bomb them for two–three weeks until they return to the Stone Age.”

🟥 April 2: “We destroyed three major bridges. Why haven’t they contacted us yet?”
 
This thread should be rename to Cope Thread ?

The military losses are in an exchange in a combat environment, and therefore significant in that regard, irrespective of how they may be replaced in years to come, which all militaries do.

Nothing to cope about, we’d sacrifice 2 MC-130s and Little Birds any day to save our own. BTW, they were destroyed by our own forces.
Minimal aircraft losses are irrelevant to a nation with the resources of the US.

To be honest, even though I disagree with most of your bravado posts - I have to agree with you here. The US to put a high price tag on the lives of their people. This is commendable trait for a nation.

This is something I wrote about the "worth" of a solider to the nation a long while back:
