Iranians are dying for their country, Americans are dying for their bankers.
His name is Maj. Jeffrey O'Brien
His name is Maj. Sucker.
Clearly his name is Dow Jones.
To paraphrase a famous draft dodger
They're not war heroes. They were a war heroes because they was killed. I like people who weren't killed.
To be fair, the stock prices are the biggest casualty for them.
There's like 2 groups in this country that are generally treated as sacred: "Little white GURHLS" and soldiers.
Literally not that hard to fuck it up. Is it a little white girl that died or disappeared? Then treat it like the baby Jesus literally just got run over by a truck in front of your face. Did a soldier just die in war? Then also treat it like the baby Jesus literally just got run over by a truck in front of your face.
This is clearly a violation of the "treat it like the baby Jesus literally just got run over by a truck in front of your face" criteria but obviously we know that the media is focused on preserving power for the ownership class over the working class, so not terribly surprising.
A correction, dead soldiers are only sacred for about 30 seconds of the broadcast, after that it's the "idea" of soldiers and not the messy reality. Always phased as "our brave men and women".
Anything more than that and people might start questioning why those soldiers were there in the first place.
TBF most people and politicians can’t name the dead no matter the war.
I got my Combat Infantry Badge in the spring of 2002, my division commander was there, HRC was there, neither could name any of us let alone the casualties.
Slaughterers at abbatoirs don't name and get to know their meat before the slaughter.
Lol, may they all rest in piss.
extremely fitting
