Respecting the uniform, in this case, is less about Vietnam or Korea or the Middle-east or any of the more recent wars the US enjoined in… and more about the invasion of Normandy, the battle of the Ardennes or the liberation of Auschwitz.
None of which the POS served in.
So instead of him wanking lyrical over how antifa he is (while wearing a literal military uniform), maybe they can reflect on what wars this absolute bellend was personally involved in and have some empathy for the victims of America and not their stormtroopers.
Or, maybe the whataboutisms of the past you dwell on only serve yourself, and not the hapless people getting swept off the streets and dragged off into the night.
There’s time for critical discussion of the past - and you have NO idea if the man in the photo has not had any of the soul-searching conversations with his own actions or not - and there’s time for stepping up to the injustices unfolding in the NOW.
I get it, that the past is a better cudgel to wield because it’s been written in blood, but the dwelling on that past, won’t bring a single victim to life again, or give them back what was taken.
Now with that as a truth, what are you doing for the victims who are in the NOW?
What does your rage over historical injustice do for them today?
