How many levels of racist do you have to be to think shelling civilian areas with explosives is "stupid rather than malicious"?
If someone started firing grenade launchers into Maine would that be "stupid rather than malicious"?
He said he was firing at enemy mortar positions. You know, people shooting at them. They shouldn't be there obviously but it's a little different don't you think?
Him having such enemies is a direct and very expected consequence of him signing up to torture, kill, and otherwise subjugate the people of Iraq and Afghanistan multiple times.
The only way you can think he had any right to retaliate in general is if you think that repeatedly signing up to torture, kill, and otherwise subjugate the people of Iraq and Afghanistan multiple times is perfectly okay.
I didn't say any of those things and I don't think that.
You were trying to excuse a USSian invader going around orders in order to fire explosives at civilians in the comment I replied to:
There's a difference between accidentally running over someone and intentionally doing it. The effect is the same, the intent is not. I'm not saying he was good or righteous or morally correct or anything.
there's a difference between accidents and negligently lobbing grenades in an enemies general direction while fighting in densely populated urban areas.
Contrary to what you are implying, one does not accidentally build a mortar, fire it at civilians, and then speak on forums about how awesome of an experience that was.
One also does not accidentally sign up multiple times to go torture and kill people in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Do you know how US military speak works?
So he tells this elaborate story only to leave out the one detail that he actually was doing it for fun and to kill civilians?
Man, looking at people like you, I hope Trump wins again LMAO. You deserve someone who implodes your country.
In fact, I'm gonna go spread some more antidemocrat propaganda hehe
He posted on Reddit about how epic and fun it was. And how it was entirely inaccurate and he doesn't know what it hit.
