    No.

    This country doesn’t value human life beyond its usefulness during an election year.

    Like children. Oh they love the children don’t they? They go on and on about “the children”. But you see how they respond to massacres in schools almost weekly. With thoughts and prayers.

    Or the unborn babies. Gotta put an end to abortion cuz “every life is precious” or some bullshit. But where is the money for early childhood education, govt subsidized daycare, food programs like WIC, etc? Those get cut to pay for billionaire tax cuts or imperialism spending.

        And a lot of people misinterpret “Born in the USA” as a patriotic song.

        EDIT: If you don’t know and didn’t want to spend a few seconds using Google, it is about American veterans who served in Vietnam, returning home, and not having a very prosperous livelihood.

      Don’t worry, they’re working on that, too

    They actually like it. Top brass gets off to the idea of American lives being jammed down the drain. Specifically the drain with a garbage disposal above it.

    Will the US military or commander in chief worry about an anti-war activist dying? Pull the other one.

    Of course they will and have responded. The response naturally being, how could Hamas be so violent as to force the poor IDF snipers to do this?
