If you came here to say it’s all part of the plan. Then what is the plan from begining to end??
A soldier is an active and usually willing participant in homicidal violence. If they’re killed, that’s merely the chance they took. A soldier either kills or is killed, so it isn’t a shock.
A politician is usually expected to be non-violent, and political violence is a way to intimidate the electorate so it is more personal to people.
The more you know about a person the more of a reaction you’re going to have when they die. Stronger feelings will come from the loss of family or friends, than a random person across the globe.
Celebrities and public officials are somewhere in the middle of that spectrum, we know more about them than we do a complete stranger so we develop opinions and feelings about them even though we never met them in real life.
I guarantee the families of those dead soldiers cared more about their troops than they would a politician.
Can you not include me? Thanks.
Um was anyone talking about you?
They took your use of “everyone” personally, I think
Sorry, I was talking about them
Sorry, we voted in secrecy. You have been included. You may appeal this decision to the district courts. You will lose. You can petition the supreme court for certiorari but Clarence Thomas will just put one of his pubes on your Pepsi and then blame you for it.
It is generally part of the job description. A soldier in a war has a high probability in dying. A soldier’s death is a typical cost to war. A politician, in contrast, doesn’t have death as a potential risk to their profession. If anything, the death of a politician is generally a sign of the state being actively harmed.
A soldier in a war has a high probability in dying
Just a friendly FYI for something that really doesn’t matter, outside of Russia’s galactic fail, these days this is largely untrue. I only knew a handful of dudes that died in OIF, it was nothing compared to the Iraqi local nationals. If you were running the genocide, the probability was less than 1/1000. We all wore shrapnel home though, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The quote comes from the Joker in The Dark Knight Rises, which would have been said during GWOT. The odds of death were lower during those wars/occupations than previous, but the odds were still higher than the civilian population.
Lol, good point!
People loose their minds when a senator or mayor is assassinated? Most of time, people just shrug.
They should really tighten them
yeah loose minds can get lost if you drive over too many speed bumps
Ones a statistic and the other weirds power that can change the flow of a country. Especially if you kill a peace loving senator with a cultist pos.
