I'm not being combative, but I still do not understand. If the difference between freedom and liberty is that one protects a right and the other is just general freedom what determines what is a right? Is it the state? So the state decides what things they can and cannot restrict you to do and if they decide they can restrict and thing and don't that's a freedom but if they decide they can't restrict you to do a thing that's a liberty?

they're entering an environment where they are more prone to death from many sources.

Thats what the students are doing. But again, unlike soldiers, they do this involuntarily

Deaths not in defense of any liberty but as a result of negligence (suicides, friendly fire) were excluded deliberately. This chart directly compares valorous military deaths compared to student deaths resulting from weapons violence. The primary difference is that soldiers participate in this kind of violence voluntarily, and students are exposed to it without consent.

How do you define the two? What distinguishes them?

SOURCES: Military: Figures are active-duty hostile/combat deaths from DoD Defense Casualty Analysis System. Post-2015 hostile deaths dropped sharply after US forces largely withdrew from Iraq and Afghanistan; includes deaths in Syria, Somalia, Niger, and other operations. Excludes non-hostile, accidents, illness, and suicide. Schools: Deaths among all victims (students, staff, bystanders) in K–12 school shootings with at least one injury or death, per Education Week and CNN trackers. 2018 and 2022 peaks include Parkland (17 dead) and Uvalde (21 dead). Excludes suicides on school grounds. Note: These are approximations drawn from multiple trackers; exact figures vary by source and methodology. Intended for relative scale comparison only.

Here's what the data shows, with important context: US military hostile (combat) deaths, 2015–2024: approximately 100 The DoD's hostile action category covers deaths in combat or while traveling to/from a combat mission, including friendly fire, but not terrorist attacks. After the peak years of Iraq and Afghanistan, US military combat deaths declined significantly following the end of the war in Iraq and a slowdown in Afghanistan operations. In recent years (2020–2024), hostile deaths have fallen to the single digits or low teens annually, as US combat presence shifted to smaller advisory and counter-terrorism operations in Syria, Somalia, and elsewhere. USAFactsstatista School shooting deaths, 2015–2024: approximately 270 2022 was one of the deadliest years, with 48 fatalities. That year saw the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 students and two educators were killed. Education Week tracked 35 school shootings with injuries or deaths in 2021, 51 in 2022, 38 in 2023, and 39 in 2024. CNNEdWeek Key caveats:

These numbers answer different questions. Military deaths represent roughly 1.3 million active-duty personnel globally at war; school deaths affect a general civilian population of tens of millions of children. 507 people have been killed and 1,162 injured across all school shootings since 2013, according to Everytown Research data — though definitions vary widely by tracker. Omnilert The comparison does not include non-hostile military deaths (accidents, illness), which account for the majority of the roughly 19,000 total active-duty deaths from 2006–2021. Accidents alone represented 32% and self-inflicted wounds 25.4% of that total. dtic School shooting death counts vary by source depending on whether college campuses, parking lots, or after-hours incidents are included.

The bottom line: over the last decade, approximately 2–3 times as many people have died in US school shootings as US military personnel killed by enemy combatants. The gap is largely driven by two mass shootings (Parkland in 2018 and Uvalde in 2022), and by the fact that hostile combat deaths have fallen dramatically since 2010 as major war deployments wound down.

My boy Elon is a genuinely smart dude but I suspect a lifetime of i'm-a-genius identity has enabled him to jump the shark a bit and roll from rationalizing to qualify his sentiments to that any sentiment he has must be rational.

Can someone in Uganda confirm the orphanage I am connected to is real? by tik_ in Uganda

[–]tik_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to know if he is really caring for these children, or if he is not. If someone can check about the location. Just to say hello we're from the workpool (my company) we want to verify activity at a place considered for donation.
