Every time I read one of these articles these days, it reminds me of Frankie Boyle's comment:
> American foreign policy is horrendous 'cause not only will America come to your country and kill all your people, but what's worse, I think, is that they'll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad.

- andruby 9y agoAwch, that's painful in many ways.
- samsonradu 9y agoReminds me of the Rambo series. What a piece of crap scenario.
- dingo_bat 9y agoWhat's wrong about it? Unless you consider being successful and powerful as a "bad" thing. I don't get it. Isn't this similar to how people in some countries spend extra money to over purify water while people in Africa and Asia drink muddy water? The value of a person depends on the per capita GDP of the country they live in. The net decrease in value caused by a US soldier becoming depressed is probably equal to the deaths of ~10 Iraqis. So in the absolute sense, the former is a bigger tragedy and needs a quicker solution.
