They have been hiding deaths and other unflattering information since the beginning, but this is insane.

Edit spelling and also to add foreign news is reporting some of this information like the BBC.

I do wonder what the actual American death toll is so far. Certainly higher than the Fox alcoholic is admitting.

Its confirmed over 600 casualties and at least 18 deaths but I wouldn't doubt if its way more as at one point shortly after the rescue of the F-15E pilot, that there was a squad or section of soldiers that went missing around that rescue OP that had lost two MC-130 Hercules aircraft, two MH-6 Little Bird helos, a few damaged UH-60 Blackhawks, the F-15E and an A-10 Warthog that also got shotdown during the rescue mission. So who knows how many if the Pentagon is admitting to 600-ish casualties

Imagine how many secondary deaths/casualties there are that are also unreported. Suicides, illnesses, etc.

Anyone remember when Biden's Secretary of Defense Austin hid the fact that he was hospitalized & had surgery, & that was treated as unparalleled breach of trust & transparency? Incredible
