What we did to the Middle East after 9/11 is orders of magnitude worse than what they did to us in 9/11. They killed just under 3,000 of us. And in turn we murdered about 4,000,000 innocents, injured millions more, and tortured tens of thousands.

Service members who died in combat don’t count as innocent civilians

I’m counting civilians who died specifically in 9/11 and civilians that we killed in the Middle East. Technically it’s closer to 3.7 million but “about 4 million” works for that. Theres nothing wrong with what I stated. Combat soldiers do not count, we sent them there to murder them and to die as pathetic pawns in the sand. Disgraces to humankind.

I do tend to sympathize with service members, as a whole they’re not who we should be blaming

Oh I sympathize with them a little bit. Usually the poor that were swindled into joining by evil recruits at rural and inner city schools. But the majority of the military nowadays is made up of middle class members that chose to join and have family histories of joining. I don’t have sympathy for them

You do realize that makes it worse right? The poverty draft is one of the worst things the American military does, and we’re talking about an organization that has not only supported but committed multiple genocides.

I’m not sure what you’re on about. Just because they get specific benefits doesn’t negate the class element. Most of the military does not come from impoverished groups anymore. Not since the draft. Despite the amount of ignorant poor people that still gobble up the tales of fun and glory and promises of care, funny enough people have caught on to that tale and that’s why recruitment is so low nowadays. Most members are from the middle class, rewards for service notwithstanding.

“You’re so thick skulled” and yet I’m the one using data and not anecdotes. Have fun attacking my character now instead of the substance. That’s how you know you’ve lost lol.
