Did he kill anybody?

You're right. Unjustifiably elevated levels of respect = fetishize

Everyone deserves respect.

Lulz looks like they've got to you mate. There's actually never been a mass shooting in America. I would have expected you to know that.

^ Probably. I'm not happy with it, but it often happens when two countries are at war with each other.

Yep, murder is inherent to war. That's why I consider joining the military to be an endorsement of murder and why I view it as a morally bankrupt decision that I can't support.

"Eh, that's war" is as poor of a justification for murder as "but I was mad". Behind every weapon that kills a human in war sits another human actively making the decision to murder someone.

If you have cancer, do a face reveal before you croak.

Last I checked Hawaii is a US state. And a damn fine strategic location for a Naval base. Ever seen the one we have here in San Diego? Pretty damn massive. We have air force here too.

Last I checked Hawaii wasn't a state when Japan bombed it.
