I am part of that power which eternally wills evil, and eternally works good.
It's possible to recognize and appreciate a person's service to our country and the sacrifices they made while also acknowledging that they're a giant gas bag with stupid ideas and opinions. Dakota Meyer is one of them.
Isn't there some film footage that shows details related to Meyer's story didn't happen?
Slow your roll there, nobody is insulting anyone here. There's a difference between culture and community. If you were to say African American culture has become all about drugs and crime, and now hatred of other races, you would be correct, and anyone who denies that would be lying. Community implies all members or almost all. Culture can be and is an all encompassing thing, and militia culture has become antithetical to the values laid out in the constitution. It's become statist and contemptuous of "****ing civilians." Particularly the ones who might dare to exercise their rights.
While I agree with your sentiment, the more concerning part for me is that he's obviously a product of his environment. Ask yourself why he felt safe saying those things, why there hasn't been any public pushback except from the "radical far right," and why he's not facing discipline from his superiors. If he had failed to refer to Bruce Jenner with the correct pronouns he would be in a whole mess of trouble right now. But using his position as a paid active duty officer to undermine the rights of the people to whom he's sworn to uphold those rights? No problemo, have at it.
I feel kind of sorry for him.
Some folks just shouldn't speak in public and they certainly shouldn't be recorded.
I'm guessing you go in there for an interview and questions are asked, you fall back on some unpleasant memories and perhaps your a bit emotional as you answer. I can see that as a recipe for disaster for any man.
I think people volunteer for these interviews and think it's an even deal, it's not, ever.
