    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.

    Who’s out here upvoting the NY Post? Surely another news site has called this story?

      When I was called to serve in Bush II’s wars, I refused. It should be a way easier decision this time.

      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.

      “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.

    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.
