The Pentagon is hiding the real scale of U.S. losses in the Iran conflict, the Washington Post reports.

The department’s public database as of September 18 lists 18 dead and 832 wounded U.S. service members. But several of the paper’s sources say that since the operation began, at least 22 — maybe 23 — American troops have been killed, plus three U.S. civilian contractors.

Look, I’m not a Washington Post guy. I don’t care who wrote it first. If the official reports came up seven people short, that’s already bad. If we’ve got 832 wounded and that’s only what they admit, that’s worse.But that’s not the only thing that’s bad. It’s our wounded, the number of people dead in Iran, a country coming apart, the whole world jerking around, and everything at home getting meaner and more expensive — while they still talk like this is under control. It’s not under control. It’s a mess. Our president made it, and now he doesn’t even know which end to start eating it from.
