To be fair, the stock prices are the biggest casualty for them.
To paraphrase a famous draft dodger
They’re not war heroes. They were a war heroes because they was killed. I like people who weren’t killed.
Iranians are dying for their country, Americans are dying for their bankers.
Our country is run by bankers. There is no stretch of the imagination in which someone who works for us would vote to bail out the banks and not bail out the people.
I mean, a very similar story was told when George W. Bush was in office. Someone had some oil that needed some American Freedom… I mean, WMDs! They had WMDs…
Wait until you figure out those bankers are INTERNATIONAL, and the cash pipeline for war across the globe.
Their capital used to be the UK, now it is the USA; the same banks have been around since the 1800s and financing every war through DEBT; they control the FED and the US dollar, which is used in over 50% of all international trade.
It’s not hidden, check out JP Morgan, Deutsch Bank, Goldman Sachs, and so on.
There’s like 2 groups in this country that are generally treated as sacred: “Little white GURHLS” and soldiers.
Literally not that hard to fuck it up. Is it a little white girl that died or disappeared? Then treat it like the baby Jesus literally just got run over by a truck in front of your face. Did a soldier just die in war? Then also treat it like the baby Jesus literally just got run over by a truck in front of your face.
This is clearly a violation of the “treat it like the baby Jesus literally just got run over by a truck in front of your face” criteria but obviously we know that the media is focused on preserving power for the ownership class over the working class, so not terribly surprising.
A correction, dead soldiers are only sacred for about 30 seconds of the broadcast, after that it’s the “idea” of soldiers and not the messy reality. Always phased as “our brave men and women”.
Anything more than that and people might start questioning why those soldiers were there in the first place.
And children are only sacred until they’re born.
“The troops” is a nebulous idea you always wholeheartedly support, but any particular vet who goes to the VA becomes a drain on the system to be discarded asap.
Our soldiers are only sacred until they need healthcare or protest something, then fuck 'em.
I mean, the number of violent childhoods (physical violence, but also psychological and of course the poverty, hunger, the stress of those situations, the neglect, etc.) in your country, plus the pederasty and pedophilia club running the government and corporations make me think children (in the second case it’s mainly ‘little girls’) are not that important either in current years. Yes, we make fun of the “think of the children!” discourse in the U.S., but those are just words. At least from the distance, I don’t think you’re protecting children enough (and the same is true for a lot of countries, but that’s beyond the point).
His name is Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien
Clearly his name is Dow Jones.

Maybe let’s make fun of the administration instead of its victims

DOW isn’t even at 50k either. Perfect storm
Lol, may they all rest in piss.
TBF most people and politicians can’t name the dead no matter the war.
I got my Combat Infantry Badge in the spring of 2002, my division commander was there, HRC was there, neither could name any of us let alone the casualties.
Slaughterers at abbatoirs don’t name and get to know their meat before the slaughter.
Truly dystopic, Jesus christ
Welcome to conservative America.
Who knew giving a group of people with a notably low IQ and an absence of morality power would lead to what we’re seeing?
Who knew, right?
Meanwhile, Presidents have been ignoring the Constitution since at least Reagan, they’ve repeatedly murdered people around the world and bombed half of Africa, the Middle East, and South America… and not one of them ever declared war.
Democrats won’t save you, they are sitting at the table with Nazis so they are Nazis and so on
Who said Democrats are on our side
extremely fitting
Better luck next time!
meanwhile in Ukraine - media mostly focuses on specific people KIA in retrospect and army divisions produce commemorative documentaries to celebrate fallen comrades. And this stuff is heartbreaking to watch

I thought his name was Dow Jones, Sargeant Dow Jones, of the Finance Division. The division who’s motto is, “When war goes down, line goes up.”
