The correct updated answer would be at least 42 times since Oct. 17, 2023!

42 times!!!

That comes out to between one or two attacks per day!

And what have we done about it?

I heard we finally blew up a few empty warehouses in Syria.

Ooooh! I’m sure Iran and their friends got that message.

And, that message would be that Illegitimate Joe and his friends are holding up their end of the bargain, and are continuing with their policy of Iranian appeasement, at the expense of any of our poor troops that may be in the Middle East.

Pathetic.

Disgraceful.  

Shameful.

Treasonous.  

According to Coutney Kube, for NBC News, “At least 45 U.S. service members may have been injured in Iran-linked attacks.”

“The number of injured, which includes two dozen service members who may have traumatic brain injuries, is more than twice as many as the Pentagon previously disclosed.”

Huh? That’s odd.

“The military is monitoring approximately two dozen service members who may have suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI) during the attacks, which are believed to have been carried out by groups with links to Iran, according to U.S. defense officials.”

As long as it’s only traumatic brain injuries!

Glad to hear you’re “monitoring” them, though.

“The Defense Department has previously said 21 service members received minor injuries in attacks on U.S. forces at al-Tanf in southern Syria and on al-Asad air base in western Iraq late last month.”

“Three members of Congress who are all military veterans sent a letter Monday asking Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin how the Pentagon is protecting service members stationed at forward operating bases from traumatic brain injury.”

‘“The Department must proactively work to reduce the risk to service members both to protect our men and women in uniform and to preserve the capability and readiness of forward operating bases,’ Reps. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz.; Morgan Luttrell, R-Texas; and Bill Johnson, R-Ohio, wrote.”

How about asking “the president” and The Department of Defense how may attacks it now takes before we respond with an appropriate response?  

I mean, it seems like once used to be enough.

Just sayin’.

“Since Oct. 17, there have been at least 38 [this has now been updated to 42] separate attacks on bases housing U.S. troops in Syria and Iraq, mainly by one-way drones, mortars or rockets. The two attacks that caused the injuries were both on Oct. 18.”

“A U.S. contractor died that day when he suffered a heart attack sheltering in place at al-Asad, the Pentagon said. The injuries so far include at least 32 people at al-Tanf, 13 at al-Asad and one in Erbil in northern Iraq, according to Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder.”

“A separate attack on Oct. 25 had the potential to be catastrophic for the U.S. military, two U.S. defense officials said. An explosives-filled drone hit the roof of a building housing U.S. troops on a base in Erbil. The drone did not explode. If it had, dozens of troops inside could have been injured or killed, the officials said.”

So, if this would have happened, we would have responded by blowing up ten empty buildings? Twenty?

I think Iran will trade empty warehouses for injured or killed U.S troops all day long.   

“The U.S. blames the recent attacks on Iranian-backed militia groups. While they have not said Iran is directing the attacks, U.S. officials say Iran is responsible for funding, arming, equipping and training the groups.”

Oh, okay then.

‘“What we want is for Iran to take very specific action to direct its militias and proxies to stand down,’ a senior U.S. defense official said after the strikes last month.”

Or what?

Or you’ll send them a nasty letter?

Have you ever heard, “You can’t always get what you want…?”

I’m sorry, but our Department of Defense has become a joke under the watchful eye of Illegitimate Joe and his bumbling democrat friends and advisors.
