      I recently saw that the US military has a civilian-kill:soldier-death ratio of like 60:1 since Korea. Who has that high of a K:D ratio and still be at 0% wins?

        Gotta ask what “winning” is, exactly.

        Presidents tend to win reelection during war time. And there’s a ton of money to be made. Meanwhile, the market loves a war and rewards shareholders handsomely.

        So who is actually losing?

      So technically more people died for other countries and as this seems to be the benchmark for swearing allegiance to. We all should swear allegiance to the country that the most people have died for.
