    that's why you're finally losing the hate narrative in public opinion, but don't stop trying cos that's REALLY important!

    So in your mind...there is nothing left that could change the "current political climate"?
    Or will the political climate continue to deteriorate no matter what happens?

    I don't know really, all of this sucks. I still have hope we can pull together.

    We did after 9/11 and locally at least after Hurricane Katrina. Have we changed that much since then? I just don't know. We don't seem to rally anymore, instead we try to place blame.

    Social media and the MSM has given a huge microphone to alt left and right. One thing I am convinced of is that their can't be any peace with extremists. To heal the divide we have to defeat anarchy and division from the fringes first.

    funny how denialists and contrarians conveniently can't figure out words at the most inappropriate moments

    I was just asking for clarification, but if you would rather troll, find someone else.

    I will always call out any anarchist or terror group. I don't pick sides. That is the only hate narrative I intentionally project.

    what hate do ever see coming from the Left that isn't overtly warranted after decades of horrific abuse?

    Rioting, anarchy, and terrorism is never warranted. I am curious why you don't believe that.

    But to answer your question ALL OF IT. All hate and violence from extremists and anarchists is unwarranted.

    They're just wanting to deploy.

    If you're in the military, and you have no combat experience, you're rank is irrelevant.

    I know of numerous instances of active duty members with gang affiliations and cartel ties. One dude I was in bootcamp with was some Russian crime family foot soldier.

    Never met a racist, though. There was no such thing as race when I was in 10 years ago. Granted, 10 years ago, we were actually in combat, with more important things to worry about.

    But I have no doubt things have changed now.

    Idle hands are the devils playground.

    It is a symptom of the legislature delegating all of its powers to the executive so they avoid controversy and get reelection through apathy.

    As for did I serve? I can't. Two reasons. The first is asthma and physically can't stand for long periods of time. The second is I'm trans.

    We didn't want to fight Vietnam and that was pre-internet and most conveniences. Conscripting us normies now? Good luck is all I gotta say.

    In the 1960's draft army the VAST majority of the training cadre and NCO's were either black or Puerto Rican, many of them lifers. It seems that once the military stopped drafting they no longer signed up in big numbers

    So a white vet shot at a black girl, and somehow that is indicative of military wide racial bias?

    Eh, I'm not convinced.

    It's amazing to me how you're so excited to put "white" and "black" in a story. You feed off it.

    You don't know anything about that guy, or have any idea if it was racially motivated.

    So we do what the French and Romans did-recruit foreigners. There’s lots of latino people in the military because of the promise of citizenship. Serve and they’re more likely to get citizenship.

    Can’t. Though I always wanted to. Continue a family tradition. But I guess I can’t.

    That's too bad. We could really use someone like yourself to come in and tell everyone they're racist but don't realize it.
