Oh, no. You misunderstood. I absolutely acknowledge that. It's a pretty spicy issue in my area. It would pretty rad to choose where my taxes go, though. I'd much rather fund schools and national parks. I think that's dragging things a bit off-topic, though.
If I never hear Lee Greenwood again it'll still be too soon.

It's not a justification for genocide, it's a call for empathy. Give what I wrote another read with that in mind.
As for your questions... I think our soldiers are victims. I was there, so I think I've got at least a somewhat informed perspective on things. It's not something you can prepare for. In my experience, forgiveness and understanding come with time, but it will never be the majority.
It absolutely could, and should. I'm not saying that the crimes should be forgiven, but it is not a purely black and white area. It is very grey. To ignore the fact that they were ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, just because it's uncomfortable to think about, would be a disservice towards efforts to prevent things like this in the future. People are complex.
Posted this in another thread, gonna post it here, too.
"Looking another human being in the eye, making an independent decision to kill him, and watching as he dies due to your action combine to form one of the most basic, important, primal, and potentially traumatic occurrences of war."
It's an unpopular take, but I recommend everyone read the book "On Killing" by Dave Grossman. It's obvious that what Israel is doing is very much a genocide, but I stand firm in my opinion that their boots-on-the-ground infantryman are also victims of the Israeli political machine.
I feel that. Getting the official steam working, plus dealing with blackouts is a nightmare. I usually just listen to the game on the radio and check the box score every period on my phone. It's unbelievable how much the official stream costs compared to the low quality of the app. And still being subject to blackouts at that price is insane.
Not to mention that my team is basically a factory of sadness anyways, so once regular season is over there's not much for me to keep up with.
It's always awkward to respond to it, too. Like, my service sucked. Don't thank me because I was poor and needed a job and healthcare, lol. Most of the people I was in didn't give a shit about patriotism. We just wanted to not starve to death and go to college.
Same here. Whether I vote or not somebody is gonna win. Might as well judge it towards who I like, or is at least more palatable. Something something civic duty and all that.
Local elections are way more important than the presidential one, though. If you're not already, get involved in local politics, y'all.
I thought there's been a few times at least where a person actually won their election race while being dead, oddly enough.
Here you go!

AtlasOS is also pretty good to set up after windows is installed but before anything else is set up.
