Seriously I'm fucking sick that you even got upvoted. I'm fucking sick that there are even posts that are trying to get thumbs based of this cluster fuck of a situation. We don't care about the people who have passed in the Middle East? Seriously, fuck you! The truth of the matter is that while every life that is lost during war (which I'm sure as fuck closer to than you), they chose to go into the service. They fought valiantly and have my upmost respect. You are a fucking idiot for comparing a KIA to an act of mass murder. These people went to enjoy a film, one of the few pastimes that have helped us through the worst, and they were fucking killed. There is a big difference between I joined the military and was KIA vs. I bought an overpriced movie ticket and was killed.

But it has a point, you must admit.
Its in the news all the time that people in war zones like Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria at the moment that people are dying in groups, and we're ok with it because it's a warzone therefore people die and so what.
But in peaceful ol' Europe and America, well, we're not at war, so when people die, it does cause chaos and upset, because it's not expected.
Death is death, no matter how, where or why it happens, it just so happens that our social notions allow us to validate war-death and move against unexpected death.
tl;dr? Death is death, get over yourself.

BrotherDeath (07/22/2012) [-] While I share your respect for the brave men and women of the armed forces, death in the Middle East, or in any war, doesn't mean a soldier who was killed in action; it could very easily be a random Middle Eastern civilian who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Dozens, if not hundreds or thousands of civilians could have died in the Middle East, and Americans very rarely care because they're not being affected by it. Then again, they probably also weren't physically affected by the twelve people killed at the premier, but the fact that it was on American soil makes it a huge deal. That was the point of the post.
