You can talk about the American dead in Iran until the cows come home, but I guarantee that they are worth less to Trump than the cows.

It is now six more Americans dead.

Without having met any of these servicemen, I can assure that they were more brave, hard-working, and generally socially valuable than Donald Trump or anyone in his Cabinet, especially that mewling baby Hegseth.
