I'm talking about the twelve million people, men, women and children killed by our armed forces since the end of ww2.



Why the end of WW2? Why not account for all killed since the founding or before?

It’s amazing the vast difference of opinion between the Native American thread and this one and damned near every other. In that thread the natives had it coming because "they were savages that brutally enslaved each other" and "they weren’t strong enough so it was inevitable they be conquered, freedom = strength " and such. But constantly the exact same "America First" crowd whines about muh innocent lives lost in our name.

Which is it?

It's whichever way an idiot like Tucker Carlson is blowing the populist wind with all of the hot air he spews.

Literally.

I'm going to start calling that guy The Shepherd.

It’s almost like people have no real understanding of civilizations and history in general. EVERY continent and country that exists in the World today was settled, conquered, or re-conquered by stronger civilizations and those have generally gone poorly for the conquered people. History is literally littered with examples from the Persians to French
