Eh...
Nice counter...NOT.
If the poster is so full of SHIT as you so quaintly put it? Then why is the poster "Full of SHIT"?
The poster would be correct of MANY metro-areas of this country, and Chicago is one of them.
125 Shot Dead In Chicago Over Summer
Total Is About Double The U.S. Troop Death Toll In Iraq
Yeah I know the Story is 2008, and cites Iraq. But it is true. More folks die here from Homicides in Metro Areas than troops overseas fighting in the war going on. [And Notice I say WAR, in the singular].
AStan/Iraq are the SAME WAR, different theatres.
You are certainly welcome to come up with counter other than 'Full Of SHIT". The poster is correct in his premise that more die here in the US Metro area Homicides like Chicago than die on the battlefield.
Where is your OUTRAGE on the Domestic side of the equation? Hmm?
Ball/Court=Yours.
To say Chicago or any other major U.S. city is similar to Baghdad or Kabul is stupid. Period.
Take a look at rdean's post above if you haven't already.
