Ok?

Youngest girl killed day 1 by U.S. was as young as the other 150

I get what you're saying but posts like these are crucial to waking up Americans. Shove the death of white people in their faces and they actually recoil sometimes.

It's true and terrible. It ways rubbed me the wrong way that whenever there was a natural disaster or terror attack overseas, the news would always make sure to mention the deaths of American tourists. There's ads for new Jeeps that mention that you'll be able to SAVE OTHER AMERICANS with it. Annoying as hell.

They were mostly in the 7-12 years old range. And the death count has exceeded 160 now.
