You act as if the contractor didn't know the risks, he was exposing himself to .
But by using Murder to describe his death you've fallen under Trumps spell


Many Americans were killed in their Humvees with a road side bomb called an EFP. That were provided by Iran and given to the Mahdi army, also known as the Mahdi Militia, yet we didn't use these deaths in public as a spring board to further the war , some see our presence as an occupation and attacks on military bases as legitimized targets

Look at world history and how using the deaths of individuals as a rallying cry! as a justification towards escalating tensions

It never ends well

"You act as if the contractor didn't know the risks, he was exposing himself to "

You're literally making up gibberish. I didn't say he didn't know the risks, I said that those who murdered him, deserve to be punished. A cop knows the risks, that doesn't mean we don't serve swift justice on anyone who murders a cop.

How could you POSSIBLY conclude, that by saying I want justice, that means the contractor didn't know what he was signing up for?

It's his fault, and his family has no right to expect justice.

Because OrangeManBad.

The captain whose ship got hijacked off Somalia a few years ago, also knew the risks. I didn't see WDMSO complaining when Obama sent the SEALs in to blow the heads off 3 pirates who were holding him. WDMSO, that might have kicked off another Black Hawk Down scenario, yet I'd bet my life you didn't complain. Because you liked that president, and that's all that matters. Obama was never wrong, Trump is never correct. Not once, not ever, not even if they do the same thing.

How would you describe it? We're not at war with Iraq or Iran. Are you saying the American was killed in self defense? Did he die of natural causes? Did he commit suicide?
