Donald Trump, has released “real” figures of American troops killed in previous wars, and made a comparison of those figures to the death number of US troops in the war against Iran.
The US Leader described the latest release as “real facts”.
Trump is comparing the death toll of American soldiers in Iran to several wars in the past, including in Vietnam and Iraq.
On Truth Social, Trump splashed the “real” total of American troops that fell in the wars against Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, as well as, in Iran.
He posted, only “18” have fallen since the war against Iran started “4 months” ago, while, in Iraq, the United States (US) lost “4,600” troops.
Trump posted: “These are the real facts. REPORT THEM!”
The post is coming just days after four (4) more service members were killed in Iranian attacks; the first US casualties since the collapse of the fragile ceasefire deal two (2) weeks ago.
A dignified transfer for the remains of the soldiers at Dover Air Force Base on Wednesday was attended by the President. He vowed retaliatory actions for the fallen soldiers.
Following a short break, the fighting erupted this month, leading to questions being asked on the scope and timeline of the war.
Trump posted: the wars in “Vietnam (19 years), Korea (3 years), Iraq (9 years), Afghanistan (20 years)” and Iran recorded “58,220, 36,574, 4,600, 2,000” American fatalities respectively.
He further posted: the war against Venezuela lasted only “1 day” and “0” US troop killed.
The strikes between the US and Iran continues with the Asian country blocking access to the Strait of Hormuz, limiting oil flow through the critical waterway.
