It has to do with rationalization and Irony. People are killed everyday, in particular in this video, memorilzing the 3000 killed by bombing in 1999 ordered by Clinton, yet NOBODY even knows about it. Americans are no different then the rest of the world, yet its always such a huge deal, when "american" lives are lost. It should be a huge deal when any civilian lives are lost, and there are millions more, than 3000, or 4 americans. An Iraqi father is worth no less or more than an American mother, yet when he's killed it means nothing to people.

Ah, I get it. Naturally I assume you've searched the entire Subsim Forums archive to verify that no one here has ever expressed sadness or regret or been concerned over any other tragic incident such as the ones you've mentioned. And of course being a gifted telepath you know automatically that no one here gives, or has ever given, two-tenths of a [expletive deleted] about anything other than the US and what happens to its citizens.

Because otherwise, your "point" is pointless. People are allowed to express sadness over one incident without that action implying a lack of concern or sadness over another. Behaving like this is not the case as a means of getting all up their faces with some kind of "OMG YOU SHOULD CARE MORE ABOUT THIS INSTEAD" socio-political agenda is not the best way to win friends and influence people.

but does not surprise me, being a redsocialist, not like one is capable of rational thought.

I think you are over generalizing. Death of any civilian is not meaningless to everyone. There are plenty in the US that oppose and protest all wars not only because their sons and daughters are sent to fight but innocent lives are caught in the crossfire.

redsocialist you must come in person and see the world with your own eyes, and then there will be live for you, which is difficult if the impressions are from another Hierarchy

Oh, come on, stop giving him a hard time. Just because capitalist technology pwned commie technology, it doesn't mean anything.

back on topic. I'm glad we are paying for a navy.

I suspect that isn't about to happen.

Maybe not for him but the reality is far more important

And you've shown evidence of rational thought when?
