The Value of American Lives Versus All the Rest

"Sorry We Shot Your Kid, But Here's $500"

punditman says:
Consider the following US government payments:

-Families of innocent civilians slaughtered at Haditha, Iraq, by U.S. Marines received compensation of $2,500.

-Families of innocent civilians slaughtered by U.S. Marines near Jalalabad, Afghanistan received compensation of $2,000

-Families of innocent civilians slaughtered by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001, received $1.8 million

It is no surprise then, that, when when 3 US soldiers go missing in Iraq, we get wall-to-wall network coverage around the clock.

Welcome to the modern discourse.
