    No, its definitely either Myanmar or Congo.

    Edit: Anybody downvoting this: You can’t actually believe this. You almost certainly know people who have or are going to the US, none who are going to active warzones.

      Are you sure? I’m not so, Myanmar and Congo are scary and dangerous for their citizens, USA is scary and dangerous for their citizens AND the rest of the World.

        Yes, entire villages are not being indiscriminately murdered by the government inside the US while all factions capable of overthrowing it fight eachother, nor are they experiencing an ebola outbreak while hospital workers go months without pay.

        I meet lots of people go to the US, none who go to Myanmar, even though that’s way closer.

          I know a lot of people leaving the US, and murdering villages in the US…only currently not, at least now with citizens they do, but also in the rest of the world since more than half a century until today

      Definitely not going to downvite it. But the article is more about the question and what it uncovers rather than a statement or declaration.
