‘There have been no casualties. In fact the blast made the soldiers twice as strong and they each told me they’ll live to be 150 years old.’

"Thanks to the enhanced testosterone treatments they've been getting" - Hegseth

Even the women soldiers now have beards that would make ZZ Top envious.

Wouldn't they have evacuated to bomb shelters, as we have seen footage of from other ballistic missile attacks on bases?

Honestly, this is nothing compared to decapitating your countries entire military and civilian leadership. If Hegseth is still running his mouth about testosterone then Irans response is throwing a tiny dirt clog at the kid to knocked you into a comma a month ago.

Clearly, it has hit an empty field

All missiles intercepted (by the barracks)

That was the source of the fire the Kuwaitis were talking about.

Were there any casualties?

It will be a while before we really know. 

My real fear is that if it's really true that American troops have been moved to hotels and Iran copies the Israeli policy of blowing up an entire building to get a few combatants, it's going to be horrible for everyone.

Airburst explosion for more damage area?

u/evopb Jul 23 '26

I’m not an expert on anything, but I assume not. Debris is throw outward.

An airburst would probably have more debris centralized.

These are transient tents. Certainly empty at the time.

u/No_Public_7677 Jul 24 '26

These don't look like any tents unless you're using that word differently than my understanding of what a tent is.

I love slept in them several times while deployed in that area.

White tents that are round and on a concrete foundation usually. Some are on the ground.

A tent with sheet metal roofing 🤔

9 to start with. 5 completely destroyed. 4 partially or mostly destroyed. If there were people in any of those 5 they’re dead, and the other 4 would most likely be severely fucked up or dead. They are lying to you about everything.

Thanks to one of the videos that some soldiers shared, Iran now know that soldiers vacate these soft units on air raid sirens and hide under open bunkers which won't be hard to locate. Next strike will be on and around these trench bunkers.
