Also interesting to note from The Washington Post:
“ For Americans scarred by Beirut bombings, a measure of delayed justice
Hezbollah’s Ibrahim Aqil, who was killed this week, was long wanted by the United States for devastating 1983 attacks at the U.S. Embassy and Marine barracks.”
I was on active duty when those marines were killed. So I won’t lose sleep over this or that war in general. Hamas shouldn’t have poked the bear on 07OCT24, so to speak and they should leave sleeping dogs lie. Same for Hezbollah/Iran. But, no they couldn’t and here we are. I don’t feel sorry for them. They brought it on themselves . They need to quit whining & fix it or sue for peace.
What I find really funny is that historically Christian s, Jews, & Moslems hate each other or can’t get along. But our religions all stem from Father Abraham. We are all brothers & sisters despite our differences in some of our beliefs. Being part of a close family probably explains some of the hard feelings or high emotional investment.
However, this is war. Terror is terror.
Humor is used to point out the ridiculous situation of the human condition. Gallows humor is used by soldiers and civilians alike whether you support this type of attack or not. I was a soldier once and I know what it’s like to risk your life every moment of every day.
Now, your rant went off the rails talking about pedophilia which has no place in this discussion. Also, your typing style was difficult to read and I almost gave up. I think you show signs of intelligence but not much maturity yet. That may come with time and patience. Continue your education so you can improve your skills and people will take your arguments more seriously.
Which is why combat focus is on center of mass & not head shots. Even drills are two chest, one head. Heads bounce around a lot as do arms & legs. Center of mass & pelvis not so much. Unless you are highly trained & an expert marksman/sniper special shots should not be attempted or relied on. I think he was just a mental case that thought his mix of beginner real world & likely gamer experience was good enough. Look how quickly he was countered/dispatched by professionals for example.
What’s interesting is that I grew up in Butler County, Pa. I know this area like the back of my hand. I also know if this were a false flag op, you’d want someone trained (most likely military). Any Army or Marine recruit Basic Marksman can get 90% hit/kills center of mass to man size targets at 150 meters and 75% to 350 meters especially prone. The 20 year old shooter looked like a good student but a poor marksman, assuming he had a standard semi-automatic gas operated 5.56 rifle properly zeroed. I am former Army. 1982-88.
His shooting was too erratic. (Mental Health?) So, little shooting discipline as well. (I should add my time in we used iron sights, too, out to 450m.)
