Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Weren't America barely involved in WW1? What is he even talking about? They were something like 2% of the total deaths, only joining a year before the war ended. 116k deaths. For reference, over 880k British troops died, and Britains population was under half that of America's.

... just looking it up some more, of the 116k American troop deaths, 64k died from diseases and other non battle related incidents...

Also why is the photographers name Anna Moneymaker

Anna Moneymaker sounds like a fake name that a Japanese game would give to an American

Her last name has never been revealed, but I'm certain this is it.

and WW1 was the first war in which mass casualties came from combat more than disease......but we entered at the perfect time to ship thousands of men across the sea with the fucking plague. They had to dump bodies off at sea constantly
