NEW YORK/WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. Army has used up much of its stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during its 5 month war with Iran, according to 3 people familiar with the data, raising concerns about the military’s readiness for future conflicts.
The missiles are principally the Army’s surface-to-surface weapons, known as Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM). The U.S. has used “virtually all” of these weapons, according to 2 of the sources.

Of course they have. These brain dead idiots blow their wad on everything as quickly as possible cause that’s all they know how to do.

And they used virtually all of them on civilains and civilian infrastructure, no less.
Probably because they're too chicken-shit to engage Iran's military directly because they know the US lost already.

That would require putting planes in the air, which is increasingly difficult what with the deplorable state of US air bases in the region. Nevermind all those... uh... laundry fires that keep breaking out on the decks of our $15B aircraft carriers.
