I heard from a soldier, brother of a friend, stationed over there that they stayed on the bunkers for hours yesterday, and that this was not normal.

You tell me what you think happened.

You have obviously not been on a military base either here in the states or overseas.  There are no "bunkers" for personnel (for the most part).  Your "brother of a friend" probably said something along the lines of being at general quarters (or whatever is similar in the army) for an extended period of time.

It has been reported that since the elimination of the terrorist (Soleimani) forces in the region have been on a heightened alert for attacks on bases.  This "attack" was expected thus a heightened military stance was ordered.  They don't "hunker down in bunkers" when that happens.

TRM is pretty correct.  This whole "attack" was for the Iranian regime to "save face" and try to "prove" to the people there that they "stood up" to the U.S.

I think that The President handled the situation in the best way possible.  The stock market surely seems to agree.
