I looked over the war news on NYT and couldn’t find this.

I saw some excerpts describing the damage some have taken, and many of the troops were evacuated before the war, knowing these would be targets. But they’re all (or almost all) still being used for aircraft sorties, which means they’re nowhere near obliterated. It’s not hard to disable a runway with a bomb.

Iran has the ability to target and destroy these bases and one is incredulous? Why?

[Daniel]

What does one expect from this war, anyway? The Commander is the President. The war was ill-advised. Every US intelligence agency failed to back any of the myriad of reasons the US public was told about it why it was necessary.

Don't worry Daniel, NATO have got your back

Oh, I was never worried, Andy, and NATO is irrelevant.
