  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's going on over there now?

600 casualties?

Pentagon reports more than 600 Iran war casualties in quiet database update


Why are these numbers getting played around with? These are American children dying. They have loved ones. I'm not convinced they'd want their loved ones memory used and perverted like this.

They died. Report it. Don't play chicanery with numbers if you want to be trusted.

What is the purpose in parsing these number in the way they did?

Casuality is every soldier that is wounded in a way that takes him out of combat duty, not just dead people.

For example, Putin's racked up 1.4 Million casualties in the last 4.5 years. How many of those are dead, we don't quite know, but you'll need a 6 digit number to write it out.

The article also says:

These figures have been a point of contention after the Pentagon previously reduced the totals from 18 deaths and 482 wounded that had been recorded just days earlier.

The shift became apparent earlier this week when the Pentagon’s official online list of service members killed in the ongoing Iran war did not include the four soldiers who died during renewed fighting over the weekend.
