Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not

I'm limiting it to U.S. citizens (soldiers) because I can with some confidence say that U.S. policy at least can be traced as a cause of their death.

No, I don't think US citizen's lives are more important defacto, but I don't see all lives as equal either, for the record.

Oil/greed fit the leftist narrative, but I'm not convinced, and since you made the claim that it's about oil and greed, the onus is on you to prove it! I don't have to provide motivation of my own, though I suspect two planes crashing into a building might have something to do with it.

The first war with Iraq was pre-9/11, so nothing to do with two planes.

Now, about 9/11, what did Iraq or Afghanistan had to do with those planes? If anything, the US should have gone to war with Saudi Arabia, whose citizens piloted those planes.

So how do those planes justify going to war with two totally different countries, that potentially had nothing to do with 9/11? Or how do those planes justify going to war at all?

Has killing thousands more people somehow redeemed or justified the deaths of people during 9/11?

On the off chance of you having some plausible explanation for this outrageous statement I invite you to expand on this.
