21. When Reagan bombed Libya in the 1980s

It was the main news story for weeks, with quite a bit of concern over the civilians who had been killed, including Qaddafi's young daughter (who was 4 or 5). Now we routinely bomb apartment complexes to get one guy and nobody bats an eye and it is all forgotten in a week. Had it not been for the imbecile sharing of this bombing raid, hardly anyone in the US would remember it even a few weeks later.

In this sense, JD Vance was the most out-of-touch person on the Houthi PC Small Group chat thread. He thought there would have to be "messaging," that the US public would somehow have to be "prepared" to accept the bombing raid on an apartment building that would kill dozens. It turned out, Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth were far more in touch with the callous disregard of the American public: nobody even cared.

What if the real crime was not adding a journalist to a classified discussion or using a soft app and private phones to share classified information, but rather bombing an apartment building full of civilians.
