He helped make many more youths homeless with his service than he helped homeless youths.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
Those photos of Iraqi prisoners connected to a car battery were not really made public. /s
Did he think he would be delivering tickles? Because if he did, the military seems like an odd choice.

Rough. He died for Epstein.
Who cares?
Poor guy just wanted to bomb brown people.
Don't worry, pretty soon we will be past the point where we can individually profile the people that died for Trump.
Damn I came here to make fun of how his parents chose to spell his name but yall are on another level.

Oh no, the poor school bomber.
He was such a nice guy.
Rest in piss scumbag
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.
This is tragic. Not more important than the lives of all the kids the organization he was part of killed. But still, tragic.
Everything is okay as long as Israel gets what it wants.
Who's out here upvoting the NY Post? Surely another news site has called this story?
