Not old enough to remember, but did the us have similar losses during Bush’s war? Or is the military just completely incompetent now under the leadership of a bunch of pedos

Iran is a completely different beast to Iraq.

Sort of. Iraq couldn’t hit back like this, but the US certainly suffered more losses over the entire war, just because of the duration.

Iraq didn’t have the equipment, training, or motivation to really resist the overwhelming US and coalition forces. Iran is better-equipped, better-trained, and has an almost fanatical devotion to the Ayatollah, especially in the IRGC. Iran is also upwards of 90% Shia, while Saddam was Sunni and repressed the ~60% Shia and Kurdish population.

Also Trump’s USA neither has a real coalition nor a foothold to launch an army from into Iran.
