Mocking SpecOps who are KIA is something generally off limits for me.
I handed over a hundred of our flags to surviving family so I’m humor dysfunctional in that area.
However… jokes? Okay that’s kinda funny. Best if served from combat vets I think.
I regret making a fuss. Dysfunctional.
From my experience with soldiers they probablywould have made worse jokes/ mockings about anything and everything including other soldiers and people they have killed.
And since they also died attacking a civilian vessel I don’t feel the need to show any respect in the first place.
“The official said crew on the dhow, which did not have a country flag, were planning to transfer the missile parts, including warheads and engines, to another boat off the coast of Somalia.”
Looks like “Finding Out” to me.
The gallows humor is real. Coping mechanisms for traumatic jobs is real. Ever hear civilian firefighters joke around? Same. Military firefighters and combat medics probably have the darkest humor.
We’ve all collectively decided we want people to be really good at killing people and blowing shit up so other people don’t kill out people and blow our shit up.
Civilian shipping is still civilian shipping even when they are carrying engines for war planes. And I 1,000,000% gaurantee you wouldn’t be saying that same shit if it was Ansar Allah attacking weapons shipments heading to Israel.
So there were no weapons and munitions on this ship? No drones or explosives? Just innocent little airplane engines?
I don’t give a shit about Israel, but pretending that supplying the enemy war machine with weapons can be classified as civilian because of the ship you’re putting those weapons on is a farce.
I would absolutely expect those groups to attack weapons shipments, why the fuck wouldn’t they? Also, attack? Two Navy Seals sent in to sieze control and you want to pretend that’s the same thing as bombarding a ship with explosives? Lol fucking biased as shit. Guarantee if they’d been successful you’d see fewer civilian casualties than any operation performed by Hamas or Islamic Jihad.
Literally everything you said applies to Ansar Allah, they have target civilian vessels supplying arms to Israel, they have boarded vessels to divert them away from Israel, which has been seen as an “attack on civilian vessels” by the west and the media.
You’re getting incredulous, but only because I’m daring to challenge the world view you’ve been fed your entire life. And I know you don’t /think/ You’re a victim of propaganda and you’ll deny it, maybe claim that I’m actually the one that’s been tricked or whatever. I understand I was the same way once. But when you start actively trying to distance yourself from your preconceived biases it becomes easier to see things in a different light to the “we are the good guys and any that disagrees is a bad guy” mindset.

And that makes it okay? That the better trained militants with better equipment could do it better, that makes what they do okay?

My point exactly.
Anything carrying weapons isn’t “civilian”, it’s a military supply ship.
Imagine thinking just because it’s not painted gray and equipped with guns that it isn’t for a military use case.
Yeah that’s nit how that works at all.
Civilian shipping is still civilian shipping even when they are carrying engines for war planes. And I 1,000,000% gaurantee you wouldn’t be saying that same shit if it was Ansar Allah attacking weapons shipments heading to Israel.

You can’t see the forest for the trees.

You can joke about anything, I’m a fan of dark humour. But these aren’t even jokes, they’re just spiteful remarks about 2 dead guys.
Sounds like you can’t take a joke
Sounds more like you can’t make one.
Well I wasn’t the one who made the joke in the first place?
That’s the thing. It wasn’t a joke in the first place. You either couldn’t tell that, or you had some kind of agenda.
Nah saying “just swim” was pretty clearly sarcasm. I really don’t understand why you’ve got your panties in such a twist over it?
