I'm finding it very, very difficult to know what to say, what to write. But I wanted you to know I read your story and I appreciate what you do. This is exhausting, life draining, soul draining...deeply frightening with every hour that passes. The delusion of this administration and Republicans in congress is egregious and horrifying.
This is excellent reporting and analysis. We must not let this important information become lost or deliberately obscured. Our people are being killed and wounded in support of an ever-changing, endless mission. And others of our people are carrying out what amount to war crimes in the name of our country, killing over a thousand Iranian civilians, including over a hundred schoolgirls. An utterly incompetent and thoroughly corrupt administration has started a war (not just "combat operations") without a plan and without a fixed objective. These fools are trying to fight a war by playing it by ear, while our military personnel and the Iranians play the roles of video game characters. Reality is not a video game, and it is in the process of crashing into the MAGAt fantasies.
And guess what, the Trump/Epstein Pedo Files have disappeared from the news feeds I'm seeing. Perhaps that was the mission after all. Making things go "boom" and "taking out" the bad guys are just fun collateral benefits.
No comprehension of having a PLAN - not just the first day, but AFTER!
Obviously, when you get rid of the personnel with experience & ability and put this under the "command" of a "war-fighter" - this is what you get.
The thought of this bunch of ?? pick a name - allowing young folks to be injured and killed just so our current WH felon feels important.
The kicker is I guess the fact that this bunch of no-nothings expected Iran not to react the way they obviously have and will. I knew that & I'm an 88 year old great-grandmother with no military experience, for crying out loud.
The Ringling Bros Rejects witrh their RedHaterHats and their cheese flavored Koolaid are ruining our country. I wore a green uniform too! Six years! Honorable discharge. The current WH dweller who never served and scoffed at those who did will die soon and then what?
How do we fix all of this broken shit that he, his enablers and sycophants caused while the true belivers cheer from the sidelines? How do we neutralize the rest of them?
I'm not despairing here. I'm just pissed off at the pain, the damage and sheer waste caused by sociopathic persons in positions of authority among us here in the ironically named United States of America.
I am somewhat overwhelmed and definitely impressed with the thoroughness of your research. I wish everyone covering the war could access your page and use it to make their reporting better. Thanks for the insights.

False fever dreams from the minds of the mad.
Kudos to all of the independent journalists here and on podcasts. Thank you all. We need you now more than ever.
Amen

Yes...

eXcellent!! Thank you. This is so helpful to my getting a real picture of what's happening.
It's so sad, and maddening!!
I totally agree with Susan Colao. So well said.

I appreciate your witness to destruction.
I don't think we will ever get truthful reporting on casualties. Definitely not from the current "legacy" reporting.
