Pal around with Hammie scum, and see what happens.

Jacob Flickinger was a "loyal and devoted" aid worker and family man who was "chased down" and killed by Israel while trying to help those in need, his parents have told the BBC.
Mr Flickinger, 33, a US-Canadian, was one of seven people killed in a strike on a World Central Kitchen convoy.
Israel's military apologised and called the attack a tragic mistake. It has promised a full investigation.
His parents however said that his death was a "crime" and rejected the apology.
John Flickinger and Sylvia Labrecque said there was a "hole in their hearts", and that Jacob's wife Sandy and 18-month old son Jasper were bereft without a husband and father.
Speaking from Quebec, they said he and the other workers were killed while travelling on a road designated by Israel as a safe humanitarian route.
Mr Flickinger said the charity had reported 24 hours in advance that their convoy would be dropping food at a warehouse, and stayed in touch with the Israel Defense Forces throughout the process,
But still Israel attacked and "they continued firing until all the workers were dead," he said. "Israel owes the families and the world an explanation."

The officers have been fired and commanders disciplined.
Murder charges could well follow...
They don’t owe the world anything.
You traipsed into a war zone wrapped in your cloak of virtue signaling, probably not even realizing that Hamas confiscates all the aid at the borders so the civilians don’t get it and got shot at.
It’s sad but then so is Hamas raping and killing children. Where’s the calls for those to be brought to justice?
When you put yourself in the middle of a war zone, don’t expect not to be killed or injured. I’m sure you signed legal paperwork attesting to the same.
Why are you excusing these rogue elements/potential murderers?
You can’t just do anything because you’re in the military and have a gun.
There are rules..
Are you not taught this
?
Pal around with Hammie scum, and see what happens.
Rules are rules
You can’t go on a killing spree just because you’re in a uniform
Yes, even in a war
The officers have been fired and their commanders severely disciplined
Rachel Corrie did a similarly stupid thing by standing in front of a moving Bulldozer. What do pro-Islamic protesters and aid workers get on judgement day? 72 Virginia Slims?
This is very different I’m afraid
I don't give a crap what happens to civilians who deliberately put themselves in harm's way for stupid reasons, especially when everyone knows Hamas will steal every piece of food and box of aide they bring in. Sucks to be them. They chose poorly.
There are rules even in a war
As a vet, you know this
No tears from here. He should have stayed home with his family, instead of putting himself in the middle of a war. They say this kitchen group was non-profit. My ass they are. No group is non-profit. They have to pay salaries of the big wigs to make stupid decisions to send people off to die.
He died doing what he loved - aiding terrorism
This an active hot war with many casualties. The war was stated by Hamas, a known brutal terrorist organization. If they had not attacked on October 7th this war would not be going on. If anyone wants to lay blame, blame Hamas.
And Israel needs to finish the job quickly. It is taking too long for an area the size of Gaza.
I'm more concerned with rules in this country being ignored, deliberately violated, and changed to suit the need of criminals, and RATS, to the horrible detriment of American citizens. Look around you.
Facts don’t matter the pro terror media now have their incident to rally around to “prove” their lying narrative…
Even in a World War there were rules......
And since 1945 more rules particularly internationally
You’re taught all this and know it backwards so I’m surprised at some of the responses from vets here
It’s disheartening!
Helping Hamas steal even more food and aid packages from the civilians who know them, know what they do, and cover for them.
