      What exactly is the statement you are talking about? The title? I read it as “there haven’t been this many amputees in a country since ww1 and this is what they are going through”

      I get it… Comments below seem to play stupid in bad-faith (or just completly ignorant). It is ridicoulous to compare the “scale of trauma since ww1” with the current (relatively small) war in Ukraine. During ww2 people with disabilities were purged - how is that trauma less then what this title is alluding to?

        Ok, I guess the title is easy to misunderstand but I still don’t think it’s the blatantly untrue statement you think it is. Maybe they intentionally wrote the title in a way that is easy to misunderstand to make you read the article and that would be misleading, but if you read it, you will understand that they are talking about something very specific when they say trauma on an unseen scale since ww1 and not claiming it’s the worst thing ever since ww1.

          It is blatently untrue and exagerated propaganda. Of course all human suffering is bad - however, it is also not a competition of who has more trauma. This is a shit article with a shit title and it should be flagged as misinformation/propaganda.
