Israel launches preemptive strike against Iran

Not my understanding. They are claiming they dropped the same number of physical bombs, not same equivalent. It looks like they are trying to retaliate in the minimum way possible.

I wonder if they didn't let us know to evacuate.... I'm pretty sure a similar situation took place a couple of years ago.

Everyone is giving a heads up who is being bombed and where. From a casualty standpoint Im not complaining one bit about that.

This seems like a modern international version of a Victorian era duel where both sides aim their pistols in the air so they can keep their honor without seriously injuring the other person

Per what I'm reading Qatar did Inform the US base and the entire base had been evacuated before the attack and reports that not one rocket fired by Iran made it through Qatar air defenses and all destroyed in the air

Seems like the perfect comparison to me ...Iran took every precaution to let everyone know so no one got hurt and they played huge into symbology with the same number of ordinance that hit them

That is a good analogy but the problem is it only takes one Aaron Burr type to screw it all up.

 
If I were active duty military right now, this kind of thing would be what would worry me the most. Not retaliatory strikes etc... Our Commander in Chief yapping and spilling too many beans...
 
Umm WTH??
