Yes, evidence indicates that the U.S. government, particularly under the Johnson administration and military command, systematically manipulated and lied about casualty figures and overall progress during the early years of the Vietnam War. The "body count" was used as the primary, yet often fraudulent, metric to convince Congress and the public that the U.S. was winning a war of attrition.
A lot has changed since then. The names of casualties are released officially.
If there's a stark difference between the casualties, it's easy to tell.
Again with today cameras on phones everywhere, the truth isn't hidden for long .
For instance not everyone in Tel Aviv supports Netanyahu , many are his sworn enemies who with the www can release actual footages anonymously without restraint.

⚡The Pentagon spent about $5.6 billion on munitions in the first two days of U.S. strikes on Iran, according to officials.

The high cost is raising concerns in Congress that the military is rapidly using up limited stocks of advanced weapons.

The Trump administration is expected to request tens of billions in additional defense funding from Congress to continue the campaign.
Based on late 2025 and early 2026 reports, the combined estimated fraud for specific government programs in California and Minnesota is approximately $16 billion.

Biden gave Iran $6 Billion. The most consequential action of his was the full withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Trump wanted to keep the sprawling Bagram base, 500 km from Iran in America hands . With hardened shelters, 12000 ft concrete runway , hospital and living quarters , Bagram location allowed monitoring China, Russia and Iran activities. Effectively it would have been more useful in today's military action against Iran than the middle east bases.

Our aspiration is to bring the Iranian people to cast off the yoke of tyranny.

The Iranian girls are securing asylum.

The brave girls of my country were forced to wear the hijab to be allowed to play for the national football team. They had to wear clothes they did not want, but because of their passion for football, they had no choice but to accept these restrictions to continue their path.
When they traveled to Australia for a match at the stadium, they refused to sing the Islamic Republic's anthem. At the same time, they were threatened from inside the country that when they returned, they would face severe punishment—simply for refusing to sing the regime’s anthem.
Some of them left the national team camp and applied for asylum.
Donald Trump also supported them and said that if the Australian government did not grant them asylum, the United States would do so.
For 47 years, this regime has told our people that America is our enemy. But the real enemy of the Iranian nation has always been the regime itself—not America and not anyone else


Add the girls families left behind to your prayer groups.

🇮🇷 Iran’s strategy in the war: drag it out as long as possible and inflict maximum damage on the US and Israel.

Middle East Institute analyst Ross Harrison: Ending the war too soon would be seen as weakness, inviting more attacks from the US and Israel.

From Tehran’s view, prolonging the fight is survival, even if it means more pain for everyone.

Source: Al Jazeera
Seems like Iranians want the IRGC to never surrender too.
In Gaza almost every building was destroyed , yet Hamas is still calling the shots . When the population supports it's leaders outsiders will never overthrow them
By the time Israel resembles Gaza , 99% of it's population will still be alive but the IRGC will have been decimated.
A long war works to their disadvantage.
The Iranians are blocking IRGC from embedding the rocket launchers in their neighborhood.
Seems like these Iranians are just like Hamas,hoping civilians get killed by IDF or USAF so they can scream genocide

Trump says Iran was offered free nuclear fuel forever They said no we want to enrich. We must have centrifuges to enrich to 3, 38, 66, 99 % or whatever we want.
Supporters here say Khamenei's fatwa banned the development of a nuclear bomb as evidence. If that was so they would have allowed iAEA inspectors.,instead the regine actively blocked them looking for every opportunity to ban then from Iran. ( The iAEA was wise not to send gay inspectors there,they would have been hoisted on a crane)

A few Greece oil tankers have been crossing the Straits of Hormuz despite the threat of IRGC dropping the hypersonic Khorramshahr missile with 80 cluster munitions on them.

Tehran TV screened the allegiance ceremony by regime hardliners to the new Ayatollah. He didn't appear in person . A cardboard statue of him was the prop. ( Like their 5th generation jet fighter a few years ago)
Israel sources say he was injured, possibly unconscious, possibly dead, the remnants are propping him to allow for continuity.

A few posts on X.
Iranian are supportive of the strikes against the regime. Happy when IRGC buildings are bombed, anxious when US and Israel jet fighters are late for their daily bombing. The regime so loved by some here has nearly totally blocked the internet, a user thinks only 5% of Iranians support the regime.
If majority of Iranians want the mad Ayatollahs gone, then Trump and Netanyahu are surely doing the Lord's work......
Somebody say Amen. Or inshallah.

Apart from Reagans Operation Praying mlMantis which took out half of Iranian Navy and some offshore platforms ,no other president stood up to Iran.

Since 1979, Iran and its proxies have conducted hundreds of strikes. Key incidents:
1979: U.S. Embassy Hostage Crisis (Tehran); 52 Americans held for 444 days.
1983: Marine Barracks Bombing (Beirut); 241 U.S. service members killed.
1983: U.S. Embassy Bombing (Beirut); 63 killed, including 17 Americans.
1984: U.S. Embassy Annex Bombing (Beirut); 24 killed.
1985: TWA Flight 847 hijacking; one U.S. Navy diver murdered.
1996: Khobar Towers Bombing (Saudi Arabia); 19 U.S. airmen killed.
2003–2011: Iraq War IEDs/militia strikes; 600+ U.S. troops killed by Iranian-supplied EFPs.
2020: Al-Asad Airbase ballistic missile attack (Iraq); 100+ brain injuries.
2023: October 7 Hamas Attack; 46 Americans killed, 12 kidnapped.
2024: Tower 22 Drone Strike (Jordan); 3 U.S. soldiers killed.
2026: Gulf Missile/Drone Barrage; 6 U.S. soldiers killed; 2,700+ projectiles launched.


Why is this war unnecessary?
If Obama had launched you would have applauded it. Obama warned Iranians that the Israelis were about to attack by the way and stationed a Destroyer in the Mediterranean to detect them warn Iranians if IDF jets took off to Iran. By then the Iran had not loaded the uranium fuel rods into the Bushehr Power plant and the Tehran Reactor. Which means an attack would have left no nuclear fallout.

First Fulton, now Maricopa.

FBI has seized gigabytes of election material from Maricopa county Arizona.

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/monfbi-secretly-seizes-election-records-arizonas-largest-county-voting

The current governor never won,she was incharge of running her election as secretary of state
Joe Biden didn't win Arizona.


basilico:
Affidavit to grant search warrant of Fulton Election rigging unsealed. Many grounds, I'll list only the first 5.

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.gand.355087/gov.uscourts.gand.355087.22.1_1.pdf

(a) tabulator machines used by Fulton County are designed to create and save a scanned image of each ballot. Fulton County has admitted that it does not have scanned images of all the 528,777 ballots counted during the Original Count or the
527,925 ballots counted during the Recount.

b. Fulton County has confirmed that during the Recount of votes, some ballots were scanned multiple times. Ballot images made available in response to public record requests show ballots with unique markings duplicated within the ballot images.

c.) During the Risk Limiting Audit, auditors counting the votes by hand reported vote tallies for batches inconsistent with the actual votes within the batch. The State’s
Performance Review Board2 reported that Secretary of State investigators confirmed inaccurate batch tallies from the Risk Limiting Audit.

d. Auditors assisting in the Risk Limiting Audit reported counting purported absentee ballots that had never been creased or folded, as would be required for the ballot to
be mailed to the voter and for the ballot to be returned in the sealed envelope requiring the voter’s signature for authentication.

e. On the day of the deadline to report the Recount results, Fulton County reported a recount totaling 511,343 ballots, 17,434 ballots fewer than original counted. The following day, Fulton County then reported a total of 527,925 ballots counted.


Clearly Fulton swung Georgia to Biden. BREAKING: A Panicked Fulton County Georgia & Democrat Party Have Filed An Emergency Motion Asking A Federal Judge To STOP THE @FBI & @TheJusticeDept FROM REVIEWING ANY BALLOTS OR ELECTION MATERIALS SEIZED FROM THE COUNTY UNDER A SEARCH WARRANT BACKED RAID They fought for 5 years to prevent anyone from seeing the ballot materials.
The question at this time should be how many should go to jail in Fulton then Georgia. Fani Willis,Shayne Moss and Ruby,Georgia SoS and Governor should be held culpable.

The left declared the 2020 election the most secure ever.
**Similar to nen can get pregnant***

1. America never claimed to be untouchable. It's just that there are consequences to touching them. That's all. Japan touched them in the 1940s, they FAFO. Same with with Osama bin Laden in 2001. Iran will soon see the consequences of touching America and FAFO afterwards. It's a long game. Just wait for it.

2. Israel built (one of) the best air defences in the world. It's not perfect (impenetrable) , but it's the best. Or kindly mention another nation with better air defences, that endured the same level of air assault in residential areas like Israel and still record minimal casualties. I'm waiting
I'll be blunt. When those Middle East countries fight Israel or the West victory to them is seeing some Israel dead. or something that indicates Israel or the west is not "superhuman".
IOW their expectations and ambitions are very low. Mediocrity best describes them.
In every war esp Israel has fought their opponents have declared themselves the winners.
Iran is celebrating losing their top leadership because the iron dome et al don't stop all their missiles.

You went straight to Minnesota, but have totally avoided the fact that millions of Americans across the country are now paying through their noses for health premiums. Whilst war mongering is ongoing that benefits not one poor American.

Allow the investigations for Minnesota to be completed, so that we can have a concrete grasp on how much fraud we are talking about. And then a spend comparison can be made. But I will tell you, with the cost trend of $1billion per day to wage war with Iran, I doubt what ever fraud you think has happened in Minnesota can be compared to it.

But know this. No monies spent on the welfare of citizens is ever enough. If a country can’t take care of its own people (that pay taxes), but focus on fighting needless wars, then that country’s leadership needs to be questioned.
Money spent is only important when it comes to liberating people from tyrannical leaders.

When it comes to fraud perpetrated by democrats , extremely thorough investigations are needed.

Realism is that a sovereign nation should accomplish both, especially for a country that is extremely rich, a super power and can fund irrelevant wars costing billions. You can’t over protect citizens who are hungry, lack adequate health care, poorly educated, downtrodden etc - especially when these same citizens pay taxes with expectations that they benefit from basic programs to make their lives liveable.

You see the reason why I said it is either you guys have become mentally ill, completely lost home training or have become astronomically immoral.

If not why would a normal human being try to explain why governments would over spend on supposed national security (=war mongering) whilst the people the government is trying to protect, languish in suffering.

You need to re-evaluate your thought process. It has become rotten.

Your realism is full of gibberish.
