(13,901 posts)You have me on record saying that mistakes will happen in the course of human events. When you find me the movement or organization in history that has made 0 mistakes, you let me know, and I will get right on trying to hold all other movements and organizations to the standard of perfection.
You may also have me on record stating that while I happen to be a pacifist personally, I fully understand the anger and fear of people who are standing out in a street with no protection other than their fellow protestors, while facing multiple allied armed and hostile forces well known for their practices of killing and injuring of innocent persons. In that situation, if you can only find one example of them making a mistake.. I commend them for their restraint.
Now.. I'm get that this is a pet cause for you. I could speculate on why, but thats your story to tell. But at the end of the day.. you are wrong. Your opposition to those who are willing put their lives bodies on the line for the defense of this nation is unfortunate.
