“That man doesn’t deserve to have been the commander in chief for my son, my uncle,” he said, referring to Beau Biden and Ambrose Finnegan, who both served in the military
President Joe Biden choked up Wednesday talking about the military service of his family members and former President Donald Trump’s disparaging remarks about service members.
“They asked [Trump] to go visit American gravesites. He said, ‘No.’ He wouldn’t do it. Because they were all ‘suckers’ and ‘losers,’” Biden told a crowd of union workers. “I’m not making that up. The staff who were with him acknowledge it today. Suckers and losers.”
He paused for a moment and added, “That man doesn’t deserve to have been the commander in chief for my son, my uncle.” Beau Biden and Ambrose Finnegan both served in the military before Trump took office.
Biden’s comments referred to Trump’s 2018 trip to Paris for the centennial of the end of World War I, when he declined to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and reportedly called Marines who died at Belleau Wood “suckers” and fallen soldiers at the U.S. cemetery “losers.”
Over 1,000,000 Iraqis died in the war Bidens son valiantly slaughtered in.
Why do we respect state sanctioned murderers lives yet disregard the victims of imperialism?
That number is incredibly misleading.
how so? or is this just a ‘trust me bro’.
Because it’s not that high. 34,144–71,544k military casualties and 103,160–113,728k civilian deaths during the entire 8 years 8 months.
That includes fighting extremists like ISIS and deaths caused by Iraqi security forces (post Saddam) who also have the most casualties on the coalition side.
Many more died due to extremists groups like ISIS outside of the war. If count that then maybe you start to creep up. But I don’t think it makes any sense to blame the US for what ISIS and other groups did.
To add on to that the invasion phase itself caused 30k military deaths and 7k civilians.
Just cus you seemed to have missed it.
