    I don’t get it it’s war. Why are we reporting on how four of our soldiers died in an attack? Like… they just killed hundreds of people and 4 died… seem like a good ratio to me? Are you telling me that it’s unusual for any of our soldiers to die?

      Americans back at home haven’t been touched by war since Vietnam or ww2. Each US death is a “tragedy” while the hundreds of dead civilians in Iran is NBD. It’s fucking disgusting, but that is how we have been taught to think.
