I am a Colorado Springs constituent writing to urge you to escalate your public pressure on two specific issues that have not received adequate congressional attention in the Iran war. First, the casualty cover-up. The Intercept reported on April 1 citing a defense official who described Pentagon casualty reporting as a “casualty cover-up.” Their analysis found over 520 U.S. personnel wounded and at least 15 killed, while official statements have been outdated and contradictory. The last comprehensive public casualty accounting was March 12-13. The American public deserves transparency on who is being harmed in this unauthorized war. Second, the President’s threats to destroy civilian infrastructure. His Truth Social post threatening to “hit and obliterate” Iran’s power plants serving 93 million people crossed into territory that former U.S. ambassador for war crimes issues Stephen Rapp called making America “a rogue state.” Amnesty International characterized it as a threat to commit war crimes under international humanitarian law. This demands a specific congressional response beyond the War Powers vote. I am asking you to: 1. Publicly call for a Senate investigation into Pentagon casualty underreporting. 2. Issue a statement specifically addressing the power grid threats as a potential violation of international humanitarian law under Geneva Convention Additional Protocol I. 3. Push for public committee hearings — five weeks into this war, not a single one has been held in either chamber. The American people don’t want another forever war. But they also deserve the full truth about the cost and the dangers of where this is heading.
