Key Data Points on Deaths and Health Issues: • 1991 Gulf War: Of 372 U.S. military deaths in the region, 30 were from illness and 194 from unintentional injuries, indicating a high non-battle death rate. • Long-term Issues (GWS): While not immediate deaths, approximately 250,000 of the 697,000 U.S. veterans of the 1990-1991 war reported chronic multi-symptom illnesses known as Gulf War Syndrome. • Post-9/11 Wars: Studies on Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts show that while direct combat caused the majority of deaths, millions died indirectly in the region due to health crises, malnutrition, and destruction of infrastructure. • Post-Deployment Mortality: A study of 25 years of data found that deployed personnel in the 1990-1991 conflict generally had lower overall mortality risks than non-deployed personnel, though veterans faced long-term health challenges. • National Institutes... +3

Unlike previous wars, improved medicine (like vaccines and DDT) meant disease deaths for US/British troops were roughly 10% of battle deaths, though in some theaters like the Pacific, disease casualties exceeded battle deaths. • PubMed Central (P... +3

Approximately 500,000 to over Deaths from Disease Ranked by Type (Minine of Two Deaths) 600,000 soldiers died from disease during the Civil War, accounting for roughly two-thirds of all soldier deaths. More than 400,000 soldiers died from illnesses, far exceeding battle-related deaths. Diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid fever, and pneumonia were the leading killers, fueled by poor sanitation and, notably, a lack of understanding of microbes.

I don’t want a guy like this as the head of the Federal Reserve. I want Mrs. Pella, my high school accounting teacher. She would be incredible.

Kia 8. @xevekiah Did you know the TV show "To Catch a Predator" was cancelled because they kept catching law enforcement, teachers, preachers, local officials, and other people meant to protect Children? The final straw? An Assistant District Attorney in TEXAS was courting who he thought was a 13yo boy. He didn't show for the sting, so they sent law enforcement and camera crew to his home. The police entered, and Louis Conradt shot himself, taking his own life. Can't make this st up.

existennialmemes « ... 9s ago Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights. If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights." We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins. And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.
