Rough. He died for Epstein.
Ok, now do individual stories about the dead people that aren’t US military.
What’s that? Too many to choose from? I’m sorry I can’t hear you over the deafening silence.
oh no! the murderer used to be a boy scout!
Not to be a dick, but maybe he shouldn’t have joined a military force known for extreme violence.
When I was called to serve in Bush II’s wars, I refused. It should be a way easier decision this time.
He helped make many more youths homeless with his service than he helped homeless youths.
How do you know what he did while he was in?
Even if he was only “logistics” what do you think he is helping organize and supply?
So we don’t know what he did?
We know he helped America operate as the imperialist power it is by choice.
Yeah, but the youths he hurt were on the other team so doesn’t count. /s
Ok?
Youngest girl killed day 1 by U.S. was as young as the other 150
I get what you’re saying but posts like these are crucial to waking up Americans. Shove the death of white people in their faces and they actually recoil sometimes.
It’s true and terrible. It ways rubbed me the wrong way that whenever there was a natural disaster or terror attack overseas, the news would always make sure to mention the deaths of American tourists. There’s ads for new Jeeps that mention that you’ll be able to SAVE OTHER AMERICANS with it. Annoying as hell.
They were mostly in the 7-12 years old range. And the death count has exceeded 160 now.
They’re both bad?
No. He was a soldier, volunteered to be one and put his life on the line. The girls didn’t.
Self-defense is bad?
ITT: Jesus christ the comments.
Oh! Ooh! When do we get a story about the killed Iranian soldier who was Viagra raping beheaded premature incubator babies and kicking puppies!
I need more propaganda!!! (I edited it to make it even more dark!)
Guys, chill for a second.
He was a kid who enlisted in the Reserve before Trump was even in power, and deployed to Kuwait with a logistics unit without knowing wtf was going to happen.
Instead of being mad at the dead pawns, be mad at the people in power who started this shit. Be mad at the officers at the highest levels who didn’t push back against Trump’s orders to attack Iran without just reason. I think they deserve hate more than anyone.
Fake, kid is still alive.
This might be a hot take, but the US military was shit long before Trump.
Really nothing Trump is doing is new to the US. He just gave up any pretense of it being for good or to help anyone. Also he’s even more inept at implementing anything so the outcome is worse even quicker than in the past.
Those photos of Iraqi prisoners connected to a car battery were not really made public. /s
If you choose to join the military regardless of when you chose to join it. You still chose to join the military.
Sure. That makes them legitimate targets in a war, and you don’t have to be sad that they died. Yes, I understand Iran attacking back was legitimate because every country as a right to defend itself.
But people talk like this guy was the evilist dude in the world and wanted to bomb a school or something.
I can be mad at both.
The spirit of Scouting and the modern military seem kind of like, diametrically opposed, but what do I know.
I don’t know a ton about scouts, but they’ve always felt like literal military preparation cults to me.
Not really… they teach you how to be a decent human within a community
And the military co-opted those feelings in their recruitment ads. That and college tuition.
Having experienced both environments they are nothing like each other at all
But the roots of scouting come from the military. Lord Baden-Powell called them scouts at they were literally using training for military scouts as a basis for their organization. It is definitely different but it is based from a military mindset
You’ve never been in the Scouts. It’s community building and becoming a better, more able person through skill development and mentoring. When it works.
It was a sacrifice that Trump and the Iowan Republicans were willing to make.
“What a sucker, heh. I mean, people are saying that he kinda didn’t really help out much. We’re probably stronger, militarily, now that this dead weight isn’t bogging down the rest of the brave troops who aren’t dead yet.”
-Trump, probably.
Who’s out here upvoting the NY Post? Surely another news site has called this story?
I don’t care. He died in a war of agression, he is a terrorist to me
Its hilarious how people will say stuff like this, and then in practically the same breath say “how can the federal government call anyone antifa terrorists?!?”
Like, youre doing the same thing that they are by watering the word “terrorist” down to a point where it somehow applies to normal people that are obviously not actual terrorists. The protesters convicted of being terrorists are obviously normal people who didnt set out to inflict violence for the purpose of terrorizing anyone. Even if they themselves were in contact with people who intended to harm others that wouldnt make them terrorists. Only actually being (or aspiring to be) a terrorist makes someone a terrorist
The same is probably true of the (likely) clipboard jockey kid youre calling a terrorist. Most people in the military work in logistics. A lot of people do a lot of nothing the majority of the time they are deployed. Many of them probably joined mostly for the benefits. The military is a fucked up institution controlled by some fucked up people, arguably terroristic for sure, but that does not make every person in the military some kind of radical terrorist individual. That same logic is exactly what the US government uses to label entire countries of people as terrorist targets…
The only thing hilarious is equating calling a protestor a terrorist with aggressive actions of a military.
It’s also pathetic how concern trolls like you come out of the woodworks when your side is on the receiving end of it.
You don’t mind families and civilians getting wiped out for being at the wrong place and label them as cost of war but are “concerned” when people label a military who enable the same atrocity machine as a terrorist?
I don’t think this is where “let’s be civilized while they bludgeon us to the ground” narrative works.
Reddit is that way. 👉
Any soldiers who is accepting to participate in any shape or form in that war is a terrorist. The soldiers who refuse are not. I do not water down the word terrorist. It is not similar to trump calling an antifacist a terrorist
You are just another racist who only think muslims can be terrorists
This is the point that isn’t being clarified: this war reputation washes anyone who participated into a terrorist.
How do people not understand that they’re volunteering to be used as cannon fodder? The more exceptional a person is, the less it makes sense.

It a lot of ways the military is a means to escape poverty, of course you run the risk of dying to have the chance at some fleeting semblance of middle class life.
He volunteered
