Rashida Tlaib’s THOBE, and Ilhan Omar’s HIJAB, are making congressional history

At that point of the Genocide taking place could be considered a prolonged terrorist attack. 230 people was a slow Tuesday morning for them. Aidad was starving the whole place out.

I'm not saying the mutilation doesn't appall me, but it pails in comparison to a loss of life.

So, back to Omar, who was expressing the more morally acceptable view? She, who was basically speaking out about a guy who was trying to elevate the loss of American combatants over somali civilians, or he, who was elevating the loss of American combatants over the loss of Somali civilians (19 vs 230)?

The whole thing is moronic. It's like two people arguing over a relative's death being "worse" than the other.

"My father died of brain cancer. That was horrible."

"Well, my father died of heart disease, that's worse than what your father went through."

Regardless, the conditions surrounding how those US troops died very well does place it in the heinous category regardless over overall numbers.

What's a bigger tragedy--when you lose a loved one or when I lose a loved one? From your perspective, you may view your loss as greater, from my perspective, I may view mine as greater. But from a neutral perspective, they should be viewed as the same.

The whole thing started when the one guy responded to Al Franken by saying the loss of 19 soldiers was a bigger loss than the loss of 230 civilians. I think a neutral observer would say the bigger loss/tragedy was the civilian loss of 230. The number is greater and they were civilians (i.e., non-combatants). Do you disagree with that?

If my loved one was on a mission to feed your loved one and your loved one participated in the slaughter of my loved one then I would spit on your loved one and come looking for you.

No you’re not saying it. In fact you’re totally ignoring it, deflecting away from it, basically finding any way you can to prop up your terrorist girl. Non-combatants...😂

The terrorist attack that Al Franken tweeted about killed hundreds of civilians. Those are non-combatants. The battle of Mogadishu was between US soldiers (combatants) and armed militants/militiamen (combatants). That is not a terrorist attack. Eo ipso, it can't be the worst terrorist attack in the country's history. Additionally, hundreds of civilians were killed by US forces in the battle of Mogadishu, a fact selectively ignored by the guy when he said that the worst terrorist attack in Somalia's history left 19 US soldiers dead and 73 wounded. The only person being a dick here was the guy claiming, effectively, that the value of Somalis was substantially less than the value of Americans.

Hundreds of non-combatant civilians were not killed by US soldiers in the battle of Mogadishu. Soldiers lost their lives by not returning fire from combatants using women and children as shields, the Somalis showed no such restraint when women and children were seeking protection from soldiers. Also a non-combatant becomes a combatant the minute he picks up a rifle and points it at a soldier.

You need to stop, you have no ****ing clue about what went on over there.

It's a matter of perspective. The lives of American soldiers are more valuable to me than the lives of Somali citizens. That is because I can identify with them and their families and friends. From their point of view, and yours apparently, the lives of Somali citizens have more value because you hate this country and the military.

And you went thru this whole diatribe while again totally ignoring the desecration of our soldiers’ bodies which was the majority of my post. You cannot acknowledge that fact or you’d have to admit the terrorist from Minnesota is a POS that we should throw the hell back into Somalia.

And Hogg already called your BS lack of knowledge on the events in question.

Bonus points for the word
“diatribe”. A succinct word to describe lefties

Desecration of a body is bad for the living, but if someone is dead already, I stand by my claim that killing someone is worse than desecrating the body of someone who's already dead. Do you believe differently? I doubt you do.

Still rationalizing abhorrent behavior. “Oh well he’s already dead let’s piss on him too!”. Disgusting.

EL is a liberal, therefore she hates America and the military. Deep down inside, she is glad we lost soldiers.

Not rationalizing it at all. We're simply trying to determine what's worse. You're apparently of the opinion that 19 US soldiers (combatants) being killed in a battle with other combatants and having their dead bodies desecrated is worse than hundreds of civilians (non-combatants) being blown to shreds (which, by the way, would seem to "desecrate" their bodies) simply because the latter group was not born in the United States.

Loss of life is a loss of life, regardless of the numbers. However, it's the manner in which the lives were lost as to the severity of it.

Furthermore, the desecration of the bodies of US Army personnel in the aftermath of Mogadishu should appall you.

Desecration happens on all sides now. Even elite US forces are accused of the same. Extreme and constant war does strange things to people. We should probably look for ways to end that first and other actions will follow on their own

And before I'm accused, I don't support the acts by anyone. Also all life should have value
