President Donald Trump isn’t attending the dignified transfer of four American soldiers who died in Lithuania, because he has instead chosen to attend a Saudi-backed golf tournament at his country club in Doral, Florida.

    We all know what you’re talking about, it’s you who is confused about what we all are talking about.

    The leader of a military that terrorizes the third world SHOULD honor his troops.

    If anything it’s good that he doesn’t.

    Logic much?

    There is no honor to be placed in dying for American empire.

    For the third time NO ONE IS ASKING YOU NOR I TO HONOR A GODDAMN THING. Do you need it in German, Korean? Screamed at you while being beaten aggressively with a spoon? What? English by itself clearly isn’t working so what exactly do you think might?

      The leader of a military that terrorizes the third world SHOULD honor his troops. At least in terms of his own self interest

      You’re gonna quote me and purposely remove the one sentence in the middle that is important to the context? Like, did you do that in your head and not even notice it? Or do you do it purposely to avoid the point being made?

      I really hope it’s the former. I’d much rather hope that you’re just arguing in bad faith rather than being that dumb.

      At this point it’s obvious that you’re trying to “debate lord” more than you are trying to understand what I’m saying. So I don’t really have much interest in continuing this conversation.

        That still means they should honor their troops, context in this case neither adds nor detracts.

        Again, everyone understands what you’re saying. We’re simply trying to get you to understand how big of a piece of shit you are to be saying it right now.

          Nah. I’m allowed to be happy when US military troops die. I share that happiness with most people on the planet. Because most people on the planet know them for the drones and bombs over their heads. That doesn’t make me or them a piece of shit. It makes the people bombing the poorest countries on the planet pieces of shit.

          The only good US troop is a dead US troop. Glad they died in such a stupid way. Getting stuck in the mud on a training exercise. They actually managed to kill themselves without hurting anyone in an impoverished nation.

          You know what. I was wrong. They do deserve respect. For that alone.

              Being happy when a murderer dies is being as bad as a murderer?

              Nah man. I’m happy that they’re not murdering people anymore. And them being dead is the only way they are brought to justice.

              Only your delusions about America and it’s military make you think that’s a brag. For everyone else, that’s not trying to add “nuance” to being a murder for hire gi joe, it’s a pretty normal reaction to when US soldiers die.

                They didn’t murder anyone you really aught to stop with that red herring.

                They haven’t murdered anyone.

                You’re the delusional one guy.

                  Again, you’re just trying to distance them from the material results of their support for an organization that kills innocent people on a daily basis.

                  Whether they were doing a desk job or piloting a drone, they were a part of the organization that murders innocent people.

                  Just as I don’t respect any cop regardless of whether they are a crossing guard or an ICE agent. They all support the structures of injustice. They are all bastards. And so is every dumb ass Joe that dies in the mud.

                    And you’re trying to reduce them to a moral decision so you no longer have to see them as people.

                    So are you dumb guy perhaps with more steps but we all contribute to atrocities so should I disrespect you when you are dead?

                    Yeah that’s just a long easy to say you’re a bigot who likes to dehumanize people so their choices seem less morally dubious.
