The longer this goes on, the harder I find it to make a distinction between radical Muslims and hardline Zionists. They're all assholes, they all live in shithole countries, they all believe the magic skyman picked them as his chosen people. I am honestly starting to hope that Iran gets all giggity with their nukes so we can end this bullshit once and for all in the only way possible: mutual annihilation.

Well, if America keeps up its history of wonderful, charitable work in the region there'll be nothing to worry about soon enough.

Neat map. Been clicking on it, and it appears to have no information about actual casualties sustained during official coalition/US ops. Mostly reported murders and IEDs. Sad stuff, but fascinating.

Edit: I should add that that makes the map's title "every death mapped" very misleading. It also somewhat undermined your point. I get it though.

Happy New Year!
