Yeah who gives a fuck if they aren’t our guys being shot and killed. That’s why there’s so many mercenaries and private contractors overseas because no one cares if they die. But if a soldier gets shot then it’s a tragedy. Now we are so far into the quagmire of both Iraq and Afghanistan (not to mention special ops in Africa and the rest of the Middle East) that no one really cares unless it is a lot of troops. And everyone has forgotten about the Afghanistan papers that fucking showed this is all a waste. (I say this as a vet)
