That's why I said you were making the wrong comparison.
Soldiers should be compared to police, firemen, prison guards, teachers etc....
Bureaucrats should be compared to O5/6 and above.
And in those comparisons, I just don't recognize a big difference........although they seem to be viewed completely differently by many
An insult to soldiers? Not in the least. I've known numerous people who have enlisted. Some are great, some are turds, some have admirable motivations, some have lazy and selfish motivations. Pretty much exactly like police, fireman, prison guards, teachers, social workers etc.......That's an insult. I've always considered cops and others talking about others as "civilians" insulting and frankly wrong, too.

You must be seeing some dramatic difference that is simply not there.
Well then I guess I should say I don't see a difference deserving of increased levels of respect between military and civilian positions.Military is military. Others aren't. Cops are CIVIL law enforcement ... at least until your kind takes over. Cops are civilians just like the people they are supposed to "serve and protect".
I understand why every nation throughout time has glorified the military and indoctrinated and propagandized its citizens from birth. I do not feel that Russian soldiers deserve nearly as much respect as Russian social workers or firemen. Now Ukrainian soldiers on the other hand, that's a different story.That’s because you’re not very bright. We get it.

Regardless of what you think of the Proud Boys, January 6 or any other factors surrounding this trial, it’s surprising that it’s ok to use a lack of evidence as evidence.A juror decided to convict because there were deleted messages on the proud boys phone that weren’t recoverable. How in the world is that admissible in court?

I get all of that. I understand the hardships that come along with it, there are unique hardships with every chosen service based job.Let me give you two things to consider. Who after a bad day on the job cannot say "I quit" and just walk away? Who can at the spur of the moment be shipped off for months to a place where everybody wants to kill you, and they have any number of devices to do so? I'll throw in another. Who goes home at night to a nice bed, fresh clothes, a shower, and time out; and who might be sleeping on the ground in a poncho and eating cold rations ... if there's sleep and rations to be had? I know MREs are the thing now, but have you ever eaten cold C-rations; I'm talking delicacies such as potatoes and pork slices canned years earlier?
I don’t think you read past the headline.A juror decided to convict because there were deleted messages on the proud boys phone that weren’t recoverable. How in the world is that admissible in court?

Try asking your attorney about the rules of evidence and the rules of civil procedure. I think you will find that active deletion/ destruction of potential evidence can be a crime in and of itself. The 5th Amendment does not say that you have the right to destroy evidence.
Of course it is but you’re making a lot of assumptions to jump to that conclusion.Try asking your attorney about the rules of evidence and the rules of civil procedure.

Oh wow, seems to be ok for you guys. I guess the irony of double standards is lost on you.
When you leave, take his sorry butt with you. Your defense of his absolute ignorance in post 139 implies your agreement. Please show yourself out.
You another pretend attorney like @RockyTop85?
