    Sorry, I was trying to think of a more reasonable alternative than your literal statement that didn’t make sense.

    Can you please explain what you meant by

    It’s basically an organization designed to take young people and teach them to run toward a firing machine gun when told to do so.

    Such that you think someone who explained that the statement is false is missing the forest?

      Read back your comment. Does it sound like an honest, good faith effort at dialog?

      I’m blocking you now and I’m not going to think twice about this exchange.

        This is for people that will come after (assuming the whole post isn’t randomly deleted).

        I think my reading of your comment’s anti-military message was reasonable, certainly not mean-spirited. However, I will admit my first comment was more declarative than inquisitive. A more open dialogue might have been “Then what is the forest?”
