(I know, nobody is.)

I also know that numbers coming from the DOD in years past are always tailored to fit the political story.

Where are the costs to infrastructure or lives factored in? And, of course, those would be only US costs, not innocent lives and material from other nations.

How about the costs of the US facilities that have been heavily damaged by the Iranians? Or they just amortized as a "cost of doing business"?
