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
They were mostly in the 7-12 years old range. And the death count has exceeded 160 now.
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.

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.
Scouting was invented to prepare children for military service.
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.
I don't care. He died in a war of agression, he is a terrorist to me
This is the point that isn't being clarified: this war reputation washes anyone who participated into a terrorist.
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.
I can be mad at both.
If you choose to join the military regardless of when you chose to join it. You still chose to join the military.

Did he think he would be delivering tickles? Because if he did, the military seems like an odd choice.

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.
Fake, kid is still alive.
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.

He was the modern equivalent of a Nazi soldier. Too fucking bad.
I was more thinking British soldier, but potato potato I guess.
It was a sacrifice that Trump and the Iowan Republicans were willing to make.

He volunteered
If they die for Israel are they still called US soldiers?
They are called terrorists

Don't worry, pretty soon we will be past the point where we can individually profile the people that died for Trump.
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.
Everything is okay as long as Israel gets what it wants.
This is tragic. Not more important than the lives of all the kids the organization he was part of killed. But still, tragic.
Who's out here upvoting the NY Post? Surely another news site has called this story?
ITT: Jesus christ the comments.
Recruiting the best of the best for the Epstein meat grinder.
Oh! Ooh! When do we get a story about the killed Iranian soldier who was Viagra raping beheaded premature incubator babies and kicking puppies!
