## Resource

The Pentagon’s casualty tracking system is in chaos, with deaths and injuries mysteriously disappearing or shifting categories—four recently killed service members vanished from records, while numbers fluctuate wildly between weeks. Officials blame “site errors” and “temporary data disruptions,” even calling out The New York Times for a “fake story,” but inconsistencies persist: two Jordanian attack victims were initially misclassified under ISIS operations, and nearly 100 service members injured since July 7 are mostly back on duty with minor concussions. The system now shows fewer wounded than last week, with casualties split between “Iran conflict” and vague “overseas operations,” as the Pentagon remains unusually silent on Iran-related deaths since May.
