It’s fine. I know there’s a lot of heightened emotions and frustrations in this thread already, so I probably should have just used my better judgement by saying nothing. I knew what you meant with your initial statement, which I also generally agree with.
In hindsight, I think I was expressing my own personal frustration with the US involvement in those two conflicts which ultimately just lead to more dead civilians and US service members rather than approximating anything close to resolution of a justifiable conflict. Add that to the current situation unfolding in the Middle East, and I was just hip firing some stupid quippy retort where it wasn’t needed. So, again, my bad.
Then, frankly, you’re wrong.
it was a generalized “you”
Cool, but you could have just said that initially without being kind of an asshole.
Well since you said it to me, how else was I supposed to take that.
Anyways, not mad at you. Was more just making a joke initially, but maybe in bad faith. Which, by the way, I was more than willing to admit.
Not mad at you either dude. Sorry for the poor phrasing leading to this confusion.
