I questioned your logic, researched very briefly about the most fatal us military battle, confirmed Pearl Harbor wasn’t a deadly masa shooting, and answered your brilliant questions. Explain the misnomer to me? Quite the “nou”, my friend.

My friend, I am merely pointing out that calling wounded knee a “mass shooting” leads to every battle ever on us soil being a mass shooting. Therefor either wounded knee isn’t a mass shooting or if it is it isn’t the most deadly. Pearl Harbor is just a good comparison for wounded knee because it wasn’t a battle planned for by both sides and the countries weren’t at war yet.

Calling Wounded Knee a “battle” is where you’re mistaken. And while we weren’t “at-war” on paper with Japan before Pearl Harbor, we were funding the Allies (hence the attack). Saying we weren’t“in a war” before Pearl Harbor is like saying the Cold War wasn’t a war.
