Donald Trump has been called out for bizarrely comparing the number of U.S. troops killed in his war with Iran to those who died in conflicts as far back as the Korean War.

Three U.S. service members were killed in Iranian attacks on U.S. military bases in Jordan and Iraq over the weekend after Trump’s negotiations with Tehran failed, raising the death toll among U.S. troops in the four-month-old war https://www.thedailybeast.com/soldiers-killed-in-trumps-war-identified-as-death-toll-mounts/" rel="" target="_self" title="https://www.thedailybeast.com/soldiers-killed-in-trumps-war-identified-as-death-toll-mounts/">to at least 17.

Another U.S. soldier is unaccounted for.

Two of those killed in Jordan have been identified as Pvt. Isabella Gonzales of Carrollton, Texas, who was 19 years old, and First Lt. Tyler James Feehan of Ewa Beach, Hawaii, who was 25.

Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, of Fayetteville, N.C., was killed in Iraq.
