O yeah because it's not like men are the ones risking their lives, watching their brothers in arms being shot to pieces or blown to bits or losing their limbs and coming home only to have the VA not give them the medical care they need and have illegal immigrants get to see doctors ahead of them and receive better care then them. Did you know that thousands upon thousands of veterans die just waiting to get the medical that they should be getting before everyone else.

But yeah sure women are the primary victims of war *rolls eyes*

Lets not forget Hillary helped start the war in Libya , helped destabilize Syria and helped leave the middle east in complete chaos. Which led to the creation of ISIS which has now spread to like 30 countries all of which has left hundreds of thousands dead, injured or displaced.

So yeah obviously Hillary has the right person to "talk" about victims of war, because she would know right? she helped create them.

they are victims for sure in more ways than that.
In the civil war an old woman laying in bed in her house was one of the first victims as a shell came in and blew her leg off. Women are people and they suffer and children probably suffer even more since they take on the fear and loss.

Um... but men suffer horribly. don't believe me, go visit some of the veterans in your cities homeless camps. still there living in the jungles of vietnam in their minds. I've met several. Men suffer horribly... ordered to risk their lives, the only thing they have, for often petty reasons... like "take a hill at all costs"... and that hill isn't really worth it.

A womans view, because women often arent' the ones on the front lines being killed. Ask the men who saw their friends die and suffer what their view is... they are the ones who should answer.

Well, y'know... UN Security Council agrees, but thanks for parroting.

Clinton just didn't take it far enough. Men lose their lives in combat, and women may lose those men, but women and children are often direct victims of that same combat, being slaughtered even though they're not armed combatants, to say nothing of sexual violence in war zones.

www.cfr.org/.../p23041

"... civilians, particularly women and children, account for the vast majority of those adversely affected by armed conflict, including as refugees and internally displaced persons, and increasingly are targeted by combatants and armed elements..."

Eh, I don't know.

Well, in my viewpoint, when someone dies they dont exist anymore and therfore can't feel pain. This would mean that the women would suffer for much longer while their sons and husbands would have been freed from the pains of this world. So I guess it comes down to what you think is worse, dying in combat or living and losing the people who you cared about the most.

I guess it also depends on how much the husbands and sons suffered and went through before they died.

My viewpoint is that the primary victim is the one who suffers the most.

As with many other things, Queen Hillary is just wrong about this. From a historical perspective, it was men who primarily fought and died in wars. So the primary victims of war have been male soldiers who were killed or wounded. Now, having cleared that up, it's true that women and children have always been secondary victims of war.

One of the most tone deaf things she's ever said and representative of the kind of 'men are disposable only female or child victims matter' mentality that exists (and always has) that many feminists, rather than dismantling, propagate and further entrench.

@Harpesian
Out of experience (not that I wanna play "age card", but I doubt you've met that many folks with strong affiliation *IRL*, not online) I can safely state the following:
Leaning towards left is similar to a snowball. It all begins with leaning towards left, and over the time your views get more and more similar to specific sorts of leftists that are known as libtards, apologists, feminists and hidden communists (publicly calling themselves socialists). There's no stopping, unless you'll get a taste of your own very medicine (like left-wing woman getting raped by an immigrant she fought so hard to get into the country). Also, they're detached from pragmatism completely, as otherwise it would break their logic and actions.

Centre-wing is really hard to balance between the sides, therefore their actions may often contradict with some other actions.

Right-wing are somewhat irrational, while far-right are basically neo-nazis.

@Harpesian
While centre-right is the most perfect spot, which (unlike leftists), are able to prevent themselves from snowballing into right/far-right due to heavy accent on pragmatism & even can calm down right/far-right with proper arguments, again thanks to pragmatism. Pragmatism is the best approach in politics.

When you'll have time, think about it. Not necessarily now, but some time later.
