"BTW, that is the difference between you guys and us. Hawk is willing to shoot the moment they ..."

I am not in a group with Hawk. I respect his willingness to stick with rational discourse when discussing topics on this thread but I can imagine a number of things that we could disagree on and do so with some heat.

The bipolar extremes of your world view do not apply to most people but I realize you can't recognise that. Still, I feel an obligation to keep pointing it out as the opportunity arises. I also recognize that there are some 'guys' here that relate to your comment. I just don't happen to be one of them. You frequently get that wrong but I appreciate how your line drawing limitation forces you to do that.

I am in general adamantly opposed to most military conflicts except as a last resort to dealing with injustice or in self defense. I am very skeptical of all power and authority especially when it is institutionalised. My skepticism isn't proof of any particular wrong doing, it is simply cautionary and self serving.
