Outcry for the Casualties of War


Right now, as you sit safe in your home, enjoying the beautiful day with your family, the United States of America is busy bombing hundreds of innocent men, women and children in Mosul and  northern Syrian. 

In fact, 230 mostly women and children have already been killed by American forces in Mosul. The Trump administration has even sped up the process of approving airstrikes, and an official review is underway to approve attacks without presidential consent. 

"I understand why people in Islamic States hate Americans; and burn our flag. Currently 400,000 civilians are reportedly trapped between all the fighting, without food or water, in the US lead NATO effort to keep Americans safe from Isil; and the number of civilian deaths are growing everyday." 

Don't get me wrong, I love America, but how proud are we to be living in a country, where we cry about the craziest things. Great efforts are constantly being made to keep all Americans safe at airports, but long airport TSA security lines, and airport carry on restrictions have blinded most Americans from even viewing the bigger picture. 

Instead of criticizing airport security, and baggage restrictions, we should be thankful and praying for the victims of war, and all the suffrage and destruction that is beyond the imaginations of most Americans. These people, though we know not who they are; are considered to be casualties of war, and have given much more than just their lives, so that you and I--may enjoy ours. Travel in peace.
