War Deaths Equal That of 9/11

Over this past weekend, the death toll of American soldiers was on par with the deaths of those lost in the World Trade Center. So “what does that matter?” you ask. Isn’t it kind of ironic how we Americans can hold memorials and candle light vigils for a “terrible attack on our country that led to many unnecessary deaths?” But all we can do for the unnecessary deaths that are caused by an unnecessary war is stick a little yellow sticker of a ribbon on our cars that say “support the troops.” If someone really wanted to “support the troops,” maybe we shouldn’t get them killed. “But we have to liberate the Iraqi and Afghani people,” some may whine. No we don’t. America liberated itself. Maybe the president wanted to double the deaths that he could pin to the infamous terrorists that want to destroy America. I’m sure that we all feel real threatened by terrorists with all the billions of tax dollars spent on the military and ridiculous security measures that plague us day to day. I can’t wait until the unnecessary deaths in the name of putting an end to terrorism triples. No one will notice. Who cares anyway?
