1. So, they're coming from Iran?

2. Wow!

Revenge attacks on U.S. soldier barracks in Iraq. This could have been catastrophic if not for the drone defenses. Well done, defenders.

Does anyone else see this as a significant attack? Reminds us the world is not a safe place.

3. The US has maintained a military advantage since WWII. That doesn't mean we're morally

superior. Not sure what your point is.

Anyway, where is this happening? Some country half way around the world where we still flex our muscle as though it’s the colonial 19th century? Maybe we need to address our own domestic 3rd world problems before we go imposing our political/economic order on others. Maybe they’d like to determine their own destiny.

I don’t know, just a random thought . . .

4. Where did the defensive missiles come from?

Were they SAMs or fired from an aircraft?

(just curious.)
