You had to either really read in between the lines or be following alternative news sources to understand that the Bahrain base was destroyed in March. Most people following mainstream news did not know how bad it was. Heck - most casual people are still like 'what war?'

    Not really, it was a major article in the WSJ, it was in the NY Times. the BBC. It was in the military's own news site Stars and Stripes.

    I wouldn't be surprised if most people were unaware, but most people seem unaware of just about everything.
