Armchair commentary: Block me for fuck's sake. I was in the Army for four years with some extraterritorial stints for wars your fucking government started without any reasonable justification whatsoever.

And since it is a simple tactic to fight no fight you can't win because i actually read books in my armchair, i don't give a shit what you define to be stupid.

Get a grip or don't. Honestly: I don't care.

You fought for your military and expect respect from it? Kind of silly

Because i was there in a very instable phase of my character just starting to develop i will never regret it.

I didn't learn a lot about myself (this is where i still am at now) but a lot about how other people calibrating their inner clocks / selfs in their way.

I looked at a lot of craters. And i'm not happy about that till today considering the job we should have done.

There are pictures you can't forget but i don't know if you can have any estimate for this.

My geodetics like my mathematics were, are and will stay the same: They are precise and hard to dispute .

I just don't want to go to war again. Because i actually don't give a shit about people. When push comes to shove: I give my only small flea shit to precision.

If you didnt care you wouldn't a) take it so incredibly personally and b) spend so much of your private time engaged in this discussion.

Weird, you suggested to not fight in a fight you cant win - are you blaming the rioters for starting a fight they couldn't win? It seems counter to what you were saying before. Americans often want to go out and provide aid and assistance to others during demonstrations - you advocating against any form of participation or assistance with demonstrations highlights how little you likely value freedom.

I don't take it personal. I actually just feel sad for him. Because he wanted to do good and his natural recklessness got him into the place he is now.

Why shouldn't i engage when i have the time at hand anyway ? Nothing else to do on my jobs right now. :)

And liberty and freedom are different at least for me. Of course there is a freedom to be reckless but anyway it makes me just sad that your MSM are labeling and instrumentalizing him now for any possible scapegoat role they see fit.

And if you wanna see how to peacefully and effectively protest, i suggest you take a look at Hongkong protesters.

E.g. in this one: https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-10933-what_the_world_can_learn_from_hongkong

(Just skip the first half hour if you aren't interested in the history of Hongkong)

Just because some US idiots try to turn a legitimate protest into a riot doesn't imply there aren't smarter strategies.
