Questions to ponder while bullets are whizzing past one’s ear.
1. “Even if someone has shot in my general direction, am I still in danger?”
Only if he’s using real bullets.
2. “Will I make more enemies than I’ll kill by destroying property, or harming innocent civilians?”
That depends on whether the innocent civilian is shooting in your general direction.
3. “— What are my other options to resolve this without escalating the violence?”
When a U.S. Army general is asking you stupid questions like the first two, locate the nearest dune buggy and point it toward Khazakstan.
>>”...locate the nearest dune buggy and point it toward Khazakstan.”
Sounds almost like you are advocating Desertion.
