American service members have died because trump and his rubber stamp Republicans entered a war of choice with no strategy, a lack of defensive munitions and a lack of planning.

Two US service members were killed and another is missing following Iranian strikes in Jordan, the US military says, marking the first deaths of American troops in the Iran war since March. https://cnn.it/4gGA0Yz

An internal cost estimate in March by the project’s contractor ran $200 million more than Trump has said publicly and counters his claims that no taxpayer money will be spent.
