Because you know reality does not count when politicians and rightwing media smell a creatable issue, in light of this past weekend, might I point out:

While there will be those who claim after this past weekend that the military was safer under Trump, 65 American service members died in combat while serving Trump from January 2017 to January 2021 or, put another way, there were fatalities every year of his presidency,  45 of which were combat deaths reported in Afghanistan alone.

Trump has claimed that under him for the 18 months in Afghanistan, 

 “we didn’t lose one American soldier,”

He went further to claim,

“This attack would NEVER have happened if I was President, not even a chance. Just like the Iranian-backed Hamas attack on Israel would never have happened, the War in Ukraine would never have happened, and we would right now have Peace throughout the World. Instead, we are on the brink of World War 3.”

Along with the three service members killed this weekend and the 13 killed during the messy withdrawal from Afghanistan, the numbers so far would contradict Trump.

Tom Cotton wants a war and in condemning Biden for not dropping bombs, he accidentally revealed that to him, the military are just things that fight wars and are expendable saying,

 “It seems like the president wants to go out of his way to avoid Iranian casualties. I would target Iranians who are operating in Iraq and in Syria. I would also send a clear message to Iran if these attacks don’t stop immediately, then we’ll begin to threaten their assets.”

And only the Iranians will suffer “casualties”, as the United States has never lost anyone in war, like it was during the Trump Years unless we find it useful for Trump and Cotton to count them as casualties under Biden.
