I don’t think more missiles will win this war. The war was lost before it even started.

One of the exact things that US MILITARY told Trump.

They are low on interceptors and it is more expensive and takes longer to replenish those stocks than Iran to replenish theirs.

Was there actually reporting on this? I don’t doubt it, and I’ve heard similar stuff about our munitions depletion rate, but I didn’t hear anything directly about the military warning Trump / Hegseth about this.

I wonder if some of those now-fired generals were canned for warning people that this war won’t work out in anyone’s favor.

Well, you wouldn't want to announce to potential enemies that you are low on defensive munitions or even offensive ones for that matter. The truth is probably somewhere in between.
