When the US occupied Afghanistan, there were instances where US soldiers were getting wiped out.
Imagine a 17:1 KDR for the Taliban, so the US would respond by bombing an entire village (I.e. kill 16 civilians) to balance out the numbers.
The Iranian reported US deaths is similar to the Iranian reported Iranian death count. If true, this seems to suggest the bombing of the elementary school was the execution of a KDR rebalancing action.
Do we know just how early into the initial attack they hit the school? How much did Iran get to respond before the school was hit, or was it hit in the initial Epstein Coalition salvo?
Former US soldier notes that this Iranian figure of US casualties is likely bull, because it's not how they operated when he was in the military. But notes that things have changed in US procedures.
