The Trump administration is fighting an undeclared war in Yemen, and it has not been shy about publicizing the details of its attacks.
But the administration is unwilling to level with the American people about the costs of war. U.S. Central Command, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the White House are keeping the number of U.S. casualties from this ongoing conflict secret. This amounts to a cover-up. Members of Congress are calling for accountability.
When The Intercept asked the Office of the Secretary of Defense for the number of casualties sustained by U.S. forces in the campaign against the Houthis, the Pentagon balked at providing a number. “We refer you to CENTCOM,” an unnamed official wrote in an email, noting in a follow-up response that “it is their operation.”
When The Intercept did as requested and queried Central Command, referencing the Pentagon’s advice, CENTCOM passed the buck: “On background as a defense official, we refer you to The White House.” Repeated requests to White House assistant press secretary Taylor Rogers have gone unanswered. This is not standard operating procedure.
There will be a lot to hide if they continue their idiot plans to attack Iran.
They’re probably just refusing to acknowledge the intercept based on its antifascist stance, as a form of obstruction and gaslighting.
MAGA is a fascist mental illness that is not based on logic, truth is irrelevant, and they’re locked into propaganda info bubbles.
Providing info to antifascists only benefits the antifascists.
Is there a reason to think that there have been any casualties?
Yes previous deaths for Israel under Biden were also kept under wraps for a very long time.
Didn’t 2 marines die near the beginning?
The fact they’re not even willing to boast about a “zero-casualty offensive” makes me think they do exist. Falsely claiming none were killed is a fantastic way to piss off the soldiers you’re hoping will do your bidding when martial law is declared.
Rogue government
