I’ve been following loosely mostly due to work stuff, but I understand the gist of it. I guess my main point is since the ground invasion, attacks on US bases in the region have increased and I’m sure these are not the first Americans to be killed from those attacks. Are these the first attacks from “Iran backed militias” or something? Why is this attack so special that war with Iran (which in my honest opinion would be a huge blow to the American empire because we would not win, which is another reason I don’t think this is as big of a deal as others think) seems to be on everyone’s lips?
