Yeah, Terminator vs Rambo, who would win? LOL

[BlueHarpFairy73]

Thank you for trying to expand our perspectives as a culture. Never mind the War-Monger terrorists, they will always try to start fights no matter what culture they come from. 5 stars!

[Hiijab]

The word history reminds me of war..and dead people...

[Drogoempedocles]

Thank goodness there are still intelligent people paying attention to the value of human life and the evils of Corporate promotion of wars for the monetary gain of the elite few and the sacrifice of the many. Their sacrifice need not be in vain if more people realize that the politicians are to blame on both sides, and if the people stand up they dont have to repeat history.

We accept the lies that take us to war and refuse to see the truths that happen during war. If you have ever been in coutry and had your friends who became closer than family many times just needlessly die around you, then come back to the world and see the indifference of their lives being lost, then puff your chest with self-righteousness of going to war based on the judgement of a persons that never saw a day of battle in their lives. America loves to be dupped.

Yeah, Wars are rough, but the Military Industrial Complex needs them at all costs.

[SCODgreenhood]

Yes, she must be terminated.

Most of these made up charts are very subjective. For example most death counts INCLUDE the hundreds of thousands who died under Clintons sanctions of Iraq. They Also include deaths caused by the enemy as if they were done by our TROOPS. A guy fires a rocket then hides behind a women.A helicopter takes out the target and its shield.THIS woman would find the helicopter at fault rather than the shit licking scum bag who hid behind the woman and fired first. This woman "aids and abets" our enemies.

Racist bitch :) I guess you think poor brown people arent ready for freedom eh? God bless the men who died to make sure you have the right to be an idiot on TV!!
