According to New York Times reporter Aric Toler, the Pentagon said that the casualty figures had changed because "their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April." Massie argued that the Pentagon's move was evidence of Hegseth's illegal activity. "Let me explain this absurd ruse," Massie wrote on X. "The Pentagon is pretending there have been two Iran wars separated by a brief cease-fire. The reality: By going more than 90 days without congressional authorization, @SecWar IS BREAKING THE LAW and must be held accountable."

This is the latest thread on the Iran forever war. The other two threads are closed.

I've closed this thread and started a new one.

Some data missing including Navy which has some data missing in just about every entry... The United States recorded at least 17 life-threatening casualties during the first phase of the forever war with Iran, according to newly obtained Defense Department records that provide the most detailed accounting yet of troops wounded in the conflict. More than 400 casualties were recorded between Feb. 28 and April 8, with Army personnel accounting for most of the casualties.

Yes, hedgehog screwed up because he has a warped concept of what it takes to keep the military up and running... Two months after Hegseth’s announcement, over 220 trainees at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas were sickened by an influenza outbreak.

The U.S. Navy is looking outside the military to address its need for temporary housing as it renovates barracks and vacates service members who previously lived in them.

Republican senators say that confidence is waning in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's leadership of the U.S. armed forces as the forever war with Iran drags on without an end in sight.

FREDERICKSBURG, Virginia — Traditional sea mine countermeasures tend to flounder in contested environments, and the Navy is looking to add more autonomy to its demining practices. From the Civil War to more recent conflicts, the Navy’s history has been plagued by underwater mines. Legacy vessels are often difficult to protect in hostile environments near shores and depend on human operators to render mines harmless, said Steven Wills, navalist at the Center for Maritime Strategy.

They were kicked out of the military for refusing to get the COVID vaccine. Now reinstatement is taking longer than they ever expected.

I'm speechless... Before Pete Hegseth had even been sworn in as defense secretary, Admiral Caudle, then the head of a major Navy training command, offered to help Mr. Hegseth prepare for his politically contentious Senate confirmation hearing, according to current and former defense officials. The outreach was a breach of military ethics, the officials said. Senior military officers are supposed to avoid any hint of partisan bias or political activity.

A top Navy official who was secretly filmed criticizing President Donald Trump is no longer working at the Department of the Navy, according to the civilian head of the department.

A Missouri community united to give a Navy veteran with no family a proper military funeral. “Today, we are honoring a homeless veteran, John Benjamin Philpot,” Ben Ortiz Sr., a Vietnam veteran, said Thursday at the Higginsville State Veterans Cemetery.

Iran - Forever War... The five-month-long conflict has exposed America’s strategic vulnerabilities and reflected poorly on the Pentagon’s reputation, some analysts add. U.S. firepower, overwhelming though it may be, has so far failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or bring the regime back to the negotiating table.
