First year Trump Administration accomplishments.

I have no idea what he was trying to prove with his gif. I thought we were having an honest discussion, and I made the point that there will always be people that want to kill us, but I don't think you can call that war.

Your first four words there are key.....

 

[dreadnought]

An orange because a vest has no sleeves.

That's what you took from the gif? Lol.

Here is a chart from Wikipedia that tells how many people died per day in American wars. By the way, according to this chart we no longer are at war with anybody. It demonstrates what I mean by relative peace, though, if you want to check out the Afghan War.

War Years Deaths per Day
American Civil War 1861–65 420
World War II 1941–45 297
World War I 1917–18 279
Korean War 1950–53 45
Mexican–American War 1846–48 29
War of 1812 1812–15 15
Vietnam War 1961–75 11
American Revolutionary War 1775–83 11
Philippine–American War 1899–1902 3.8
Iraq War/Afghanistan Wars 2001– 2014 2

That's very clever, but I'm waiting for someone to successfully refute my statement that we are at relative peace.

Well, that wasn't the point of the gif but since this is what you want to focus on
Under Trump, U.S. military deaths in war zones are up for the first time in six years

Minor fluctuations in statistics doesn't mean we are at war.

• Record lowest approval for first year
• Record number of firings and quits
• Record number of women claiming sexual assault
• Record number of inappropriate content stars suing a sitting president
• Record highest level of derisive laughter from world leaders

Yet we have peace and prosperity.

 

[whatbogsends]

It actually does address your statement, dreadnought.

Don't you understand, Go Braves? Apart from the war we're in, we're in a period of peace.

War is peace.

No cognitive dissonance required.

Are you referring to the war in the streets of Chicago?

 

[Arcangl86]

Are you referring to the war in the streets of Chicago?

How can there be a war in the streets of Chicago? After all according to you we have peace and prosperity.

Well, I was guessing more people are murdered on the streets of Chicago than are killed in Afghanistan. If Afghanistan is having a war, then Chicago and every other large city in America is having a war. Maybe you should call your local news station and point that out to them.

You think 5 dozen people are killed in Chicago per day?

KABUL, Afghanistan — The Afghan war takes about five dozen lives a day.

Dozens Are Killed Daily in Afghanistan. Sometimes, the Dead Turn Up Alive.

I know they're not killing that many in Afghanistan.

I quoted my source. Where is yours?

I didn't like that book when I had to read it for English class. I dislike living the book so much more.

Let's not exaggerate. We aren't living 1984. The government was competent in 1984.

It's a good thing that you "know" things without even having evidence to support it.

Faith-based politics. Who needs facts when you can just "know" things that fit to the world you imagine?

 

[dreadnought]

I watch the news every day. I never hear about deaths in Afghanistan. I can't quote news that doesn't exist.

Show me an article that says there are more deaths in our war with Afghanistan than on the streets of Chicago.
