Hmmm ok whatever. Your bias is very obvious.

Think a moment, OtherMike.

That someone could have the answer when Trump asked shows that someone had worked out costs/benefits for that option.

"How many would be killed" would be factored into any plans for military action as they were being drawn up. This is the "bias" of every competent military planner. That info would have been available for the asking before Trump ordered the retaliation.

I am puzzled that you would not want leaders/commanders to asses the costs of military actions vs the benefits.

What is so problematic in this case is that Trump's decision-making process appears whimsical, uninformed, and undisciplined, thus risking American lives and civilian lives on the Iranian side. 

The US commander in chief backed himself into a corner on the world stage and then whiffed. Now he may be very concerned to fix his wounded pride.  More unstable actions to follow.
