    you want me to have so that you can think I’m an ass.

    I don’t think you’re an ass.

    It’s honestly kind of impressive that you’re able to go from “I respect people who are willing to risk their own well being in order to protect others, without care for personal gain.”

    Nope. Not impressive at all. Merely the result of not putting people on a pedestal simply because the narratives you have spun in your own head about them conforms to the tenets of militarism and nationalism that you have been feeding yourself.

    It requires a minimum of interrogation to come apart and it’s implications laid bare.

      You’re making arguments to attack positions I’m not trying to defend, and you seem completely unaware that you’re missing the mark.

      I’ve repeatedly tried to clarify this for you, but the way you’re blatantly ignoring my actual position, and instead making up proxy opinions that you ascribe to me and find it easier to argue against makes me think you’re either a troll or a pigeon. Either way arguing with you is rather pointless when you’d rather make up what you think my opinion is, and argue against that, than try to assess a position I’m actually willing to defend.

        I’m not trying to defend,

        Oh, I agree - you haven’t attempted a credible defense of your position at all. The entitlement is pretty much inline with all the rest of the thinly-veiled “manifest destiny” bs floating around here.
