Our troops were in the country illegally.  IF iran had troops fighting in the streets of Kansas, would we bad for killing them?

Thats a dumb question because Iran doesn't invade other countries. 

You can say that in all wars the other country's troops are in there illegally.

There are actually laws about war.   We are/were not legally at war.  We are just there perpetually without permission from our government or theres.   Thats why its illegal.   

With that said, no one even has documentation linking him to the "hundreds of american deaths" myth being repeated by corporate media.

Yeah corporate media who's there to justify what the US is doing and why they're there. I think more than the military aspect of it, the control over mainstream media conditioning people that the us is there as arbiters of peace, would be their main function. Iran may not be a match when it comes to a head to head war against the US but trump may find it wise not to throw threats that could put sympathy in iran's direction.
