I need to rant about something

[vercetti2021]

All over my Facebook feed is about the 13 marines that were killed. Not saying that it's bad at all. But what makes me pissed is that let's ignore the 63 soldiers who died under TFG, letting the Kurds parish, that 2,400 soldiers give or take died in a bullshit war that was unwinnable. Where the fuck were all these collages of the men and women who died in the past 5 years? I never saw jack and shit about them anywhere. Drives me insane to see like oh it's a problem now, but not the last 5 years? Take your false bullshit feelings and prayers for them elsewhere.

I know it's a weird rant, but I'm tired of how people don't make it a tragedy until a Democrat is president. Like say their name? They died doing their job. They died making sure our people were safely flown out. Stop acting angry because you're not. You're putting on a facade.

3. He didn't care about Myeshia Johnson or her husband.

“She was crying the whole time, and when she hung up the phone, she looked at me and said, ‘He didn’t even remember his name.’ That’s the hurting part.” Wilson told MSNBC on Wednesday that Johnson’s widow was shaken by the exchange.

Trump is a liar.

4. i'm on fb--i don't see any of that crap.

i don't see anti vax shit, anti mask shit, anti biden shit.

the way to do that is to simply either unfriend, block, or restrict fucking republicans and libertarians. and poof! fb is pleasant, lots of cute/funny memes, updates on friends, news links i might have missed, etc.

(truth be told: i don't have many fb friends. i would get friend requests, check their timelines, and send them nice messages that basically said thanks for thinking of me but it appears that we don't agree on political issues and therefore i don't think we'd be a good match for fb. so a thanks-but-no-thanks.)

back to your op--yep, i wouldn't want to see that either.

5. We're people aware of the other deaths?

These deaths were terrorism in a way. I think that’s why they are more known.

6. If you are tired of it, why are you still on Facebook reading that stuff?

I'm on Facebook, mainly because it's a great way to stay connected with family and old friends, and I see none of that because I choose to ignore it. It's a simple thing to do.

7. It's not like I seek it out

Shockingly its coming from a lot of supposed friends that I thought were very liberal.

9. I just ignore those posts. Nothing I do will change their opinions so I don't bother.

8. Trump Stopped Going to Dover AFB To Receive Bodies After Getting Berated On First Visit

Vice President Pence attended “dignified transfer” ceremonies for two years by himself after the father of a slain SEAL “rattled” Trump In February 2017.

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON ― In the world of President Donald Trump, he has paid his respects to “many, many” returning soldiers killed in the line of duty, with daughter and top presidential aide Ivanka Trump adding that “each time” she has stood by his side at one of these ceremonies, it has hardened his resolve to bring troops home.

In the real world, Trump has traveled to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware exactly four times ― fewer than half as many times as his vice president ― and avoided going at all for nearly two years after getting berated for his incompetence by the father of a slain Navy SEAL, according to a former White House aide who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Bill Owens, the father of William “Ryan” Owens, refused to shake Trump’s hand at that Feb. 1, 2017, encounter, the aide said, and then told Trump that he was responsible for his son’s death for approving the disastrous raid in Yemen without bothering to understand the risks.

“You can count on one hand the number of times Donald Trump has been to Dover,” said Jon Soltz, chairman of the progressive political group VoteVets and an Iraq War veteran. “There simply is no bottom when it comes to what he’ll lie about. I wish there was more outrage about Trump lying about the dignified transfer of the fallen for political reasons, because as a veteran it really disgusts me.”

According to a HuffPost review of Air Force records, there have been 96 “dignified transfers,” as the military refers to them, at Dover since the start of Trump’s presidency, which saw the return of 127 Americans killed overseas. Trump has been there for four of the transfers, which brought home the bodies of nine soldiers.
