personally I think trump would want to tell people that they are chasing the uranium rather than hide it because it gives justification and if a small amount is found, then there is even more reason to continue.

Only casualties reported are ones from first day. Considering Iran has been bombing the shit out of US bases all across mid east it seems a little unlikely that there have been no casualties. So who are you going to believe? The Trump admin or the victim of him? We know the answer don’t we? Trump of course. Because if you start believing the victims it opens some highly uncomfortable topics.

“you do not send c-130s to recover one pilot”
That tells you all you need to know. Edit: formatting

Can’t hide deaths once the families start asking questions and reporting to their local news, who would love to take the story. Propaganda.

I did hear this theory and there are a couple good points. This war is massively engaged in optics.

For some reason the name Ryder keeps coming up for me in random media. I’m starting to think it’s code for something. Or maybe I’m going certifiable haha
Anyone else?

They’ve had ground penetrating radar running all over iran… they aren’t looking for uranium at all, the downed pilot was all a setup and distraction to get Iranian reaction forces in the area distracted.
Obviously they extracted something elsewhere nearby. Who knows what

Iran has been bombing US bases all over the ME. I’d be surprised if the death toll isn’t higher. And yeah, this was absolutely a raid disguised as a rescue

So here’s the reality of this kind of situation…
U.S. SOCOM assets hold family briefings for this exact scenario. When you serve in a special operations capacity and are being deployed in sensitive situations it is made clear to your family that such a situation might occur. Your family is expected to stay silent to the media and be supported by the Special Forces community during that time. Not saying that is the situation here, but that is how it works.

The Iranian regime is full of shit and always has been. Why wouldn’t the US send C-130s? The variant they used is specifically for this type of mission. Also worth noting that most of these aircraft were destroyed by the US after the two C-130s they originally sent (along with the helicopters they carried) got stuck and couldn’t take off.
Not like I have much faith in the transparency of the US government either, but you can’t exactly cover up the death of 100 US soldiers. Just think about the amount of leaks coming out of the white house daily, you can’t keep that under wraps. Iran uses whatever propaganda they can.

You can’t just hide 100 servicemen without their families finding out. We’re talking about 100 families…

Deaths do not need to be released and releasing information if it’s classified would be Serious and Career ending.
So, while not straight forward it is plausible they are hiding the exact number and it could be in the hundreds.
I mean you casevac someone and they don’t make it, it could be days before you hear. By which time to you as an individual under constant attack, they’re one of the dozen dead; unless told otherwise. So, even the people on the ground won’t have the entire picture.
Now it would impossible to hide the dead’s once a curtain number happened in a short enough period. That doesn’t mean they can’t and won’t down play the number.
Edit: at this point the controversial conspiracy should be the government isn’t lying about the numbers.

Guys the fact that our government lies constantly doesn’t suddenly mean Iran’s lies become believable.
