Since most of you are defending Trump in this war, I am curious to see how many US soldiers you believe are worth dying for it.

I'd take the best estimate of how many Americans have been killed in the past 47 years since the Iranian revolution (likely 2000+), then find the average number per month that equates to, since the current war has been ongoing for roughly a month.  From there we can extrapolate how many more Americans WOULD HAVE been killed over the next several years if we had done nothing.

It's too easy to say that NO American lives are worth losing in Iran, but that's not OUR option!  It's unrealistic to think that Iran wouldn't be responsible for killing any more Americans if we had NOT stopped their terrorism in its tracks, and that doesn't even consider how many thousands of other innocents from Israel and other countries if we allowed that regime to continue, or the millions that COULD have been murdered if Trump allowed Iran to continue their nuke program as Obama and Biden did.

So I'll pass on submitting an actual number, but will support this war to stop their ability to continue their terrorism and replacing the regime with one worthy of becoming a US ally.
