You’re against the war. We get it.

As a US Navy veteran currently working in the DoD, this must be very personal for you. I have not doubt you have the utmost concern for the troops.

But here’s the thing… when I mentioned:

>
> Also, my kid is currently in the US Navy deployed a hair away from that goddamn shit-show. So yeah, I feel some kind of way about it.

…you said:

> [@I Pit Babale](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-babale/1016738/1054):
>
> Your kid is near harm’s way and you’re _still_ not mad we did that stupid bombing?
> 
> Wow.

A couple of people reached out and said that they hoped that my son would be safe. Which I appreciated.

But not you, iiandyiiii. Didn’t occur to you, somehow to mention it.

Which should make people realize you’re not just a performative sanctimonious scold and bully, but also a fucking fraud.

I just thought people ought to know.

You’re a weirdo and a dumbass on this issue and others, but I hope your son stays safe.

I’m not going into that thread, you called it a “goddamn shit show” but you’re not against it? Are you pro-shitshow?

Earlier he said:

It’s a shit show, but he’s not mad about it…?

[Moderating]  
While it was pretty mild as insults go, I think the title of the thread violated the “no insults in thread titles” rule, so I’ve edited it accordingly.

Question for the OP: What do you think of one country launching a military attack on another in the midst of diplomatic negotiations? Feel free to go back to, perhaps, December 7, 1941 for an earlier example.

Question for the OP: What do you think of the leader of such a country being intent on literally (as in literally, not figuratively) destroying, not just defeating, the attacked country?

Question for the OP: What do you think of genocide?

Question for the OP: Do you recall a nifty little treaty Iran used to have regarding those nuclear facilities you mentioned?

Question for the OP: Why do you think Iran no longer has that treaty?

Question for the OP: Are you as blindingly stupid as you are performing in the other thread?

Comment for the OP: I somehow missed or forgot your child is in that debacle. That does not mean my stance on the issue is incorrect. Facts are facts. And @iiandyii is correct in that thread.

Just so you know. Of course I hope your child is safe. I hope everyone’s child is safe. I also hope this debacle started by the wannabe dictator we have in charge in the Unitd States is over soon and somehow the United States regains the prestige and respect we used to have.

As one of my favorite bumper stickers said back during the Irag war.

It’s surely the decision most in their best interest.

I have nothing to add, except that one time during a Saints NFL game, I was in SBNation in the comment sections and saw **iiandyiiii** and thought, “Wait…”
