"Wall Street is killing our troops" is pure bullshit, though.

If you want to be treated like an adult don’t respond to an argument with ‘nuh uh.’

I thought it was pretty self-evident that American troops aren't dying in numbers anywhere, so the claim that whoever is killing them (whether it's Wall Street or George Soros) is prima facie ridiculous. There were four US combat deaths in Afghanistan in 2020, for example.

That's an argument worth responding to. Thanks. Combat deaths are a minority percentage of military deaths. The law Kunce cites on illegal foreclosures on combat troops induced suicides. Financial pressure is a big killer. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/bob-filner-jpmorgan-soldiers-homicide_n_820959 … https://www.huffpost.com/entry/is-financial-stress-killing-our-soldiers_b_5344083 …pic.twitter.com/fpNyzyiohh

Here's a very famous example of a giant contractor murdering soldiers via faulty wiring. This was years ago to your point, but it's reasonable to note that Wall Street did in fact kill our troops. https://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/23/washington/23electrocute.html …pic.twitter.com/jB97ZeMLpF

The exploitation, on top of the demands that tours of dury, are what
@LucasKunceMO is getting at. Was there a war tax enacted for all of this? Nope was all put on the national credit card. So WS and elites pay nothing, and servicemembers carry the burden.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
Afghan and Iraqi civilians carried the burden.
