tbh i think the definitions of neediness and poor are all relative. So there may well be millions in need of food aid in the us, though i would doubt it is to the same extent. That it would not extend for the same length of time, that mortality rates are very different. Defining the us as a war zone seems pretty insulting to the many countries who haven't seen running water, sewerage, or electricity in years. Not to mention the "right to carry a gun" being very different to having constant gunfire all around you. Not that there is no need in first world countries, but its a very different context.
