Beach goers were confronted with the ugly reality of war as they approached the water for a day of fun in the sun. Veterans for Peace & Topanga Peace Alliance, along with countless other volunteers, face the daunting task of putting up symbols, crosses, stars and moons, every weekend to remind people of the human cost of war.

On a background of crosses, the human cost of war.

are overwhelmingly of fresh faced, young, people of color.

Actually, 45 of the first 62 seem to be caucasian, at least according to this pic you posted.

A simple search would have prevented your unfortunate mistake.

Seems as though "people of color" have been especially sheided from casualties compared to caucasians.

Since you felt the need to make this a racial issue here are the facts.

well well, considering that the official dod figures don't include the number of soldiers who died in transit and in hospitals only in actual combat which is narrowly defined to exclude some actual combat casualties

the actual number of dead is at least 5 times higher - around 10,000

some have put it as high as ~ 20,000 as many were not officially in the military at all and they are simply buried with no records kept


US military casualties from the occupation of Iraq have been more
than twice the number most Americans have been led to believe
because of an extraordinarily high number of accidents, suicides and
other non-combat deaths in the ranks that have gone largely
unreported in the media.

Military observers say it is unusual, even in a "low-intensity"
guerrilla war such as the situation seen in Iraq, for non-combat
deaths to outnumber combat casualties.
The Pentagon does not tabulate the cause of those deaths

"Dead people don't linger like wounded people
do. Dead people's names can be posted on a television honor role,
but the networks and cable news channels won't clog up their air
time with the names and pictures of hundreds and hundreds of wounded
soldiers."


I've been collecting said pictures and am ready to post them..

Thanks for not even attempting to refute me.

The assertion of the poor misguided soul who started this thread was that the majority of US casualties were "people of color".

That is clearly not even remotely true.

And whatever the hell you've decided to add to the topic has nothing at all to do with any of this.

But it was very sexy.

The USA government will betray veterans once they are out. I know, I was a victim of the Los Angeles VA which forces injections and medical experiments and medical procedures on veterans.

The biggest mistake I ever made was trusting the USA government. Now, I would gladly accept a nuclear bomb on my native city to rid the nation of the criminals who call themselves our leaders.

More power to the world wide revolutionaries. Never ever ever trust the USA government or any state government. They are at war with us. Let them drown in their families blood.

and counting...

"are overwhelmingly of fresh faced, young, people of color. "

That's the statement by the original poster. Which I responded to. And handily refuted I might add.

You responded TO ME with some gibberish which is almost a non-sequitor.

Therefore you are wrong and remain a fool.

...so...top or bottom, shitpile?

I got a thousand that says 'top'....any takers?

I bet she doesn't do it at all - that's what's wrong with her, she never gets any so she's - backed up

it comes out as hate insted
