I don't know enough about ballistics to make an informed opinion, but the guy in the video lays it out in a pretty easy-to-understand way. Especially the entry/exit wound thing.

This is almost my exact process, too! Had to verify you weren't a housemate, lol. We do a dash of fish sauce in ours, instead of soy sauce.

This is an unnecessarily pedantic take over something that was obviously a joke.

Gonna have to second this. We decided that, despite everything, none of it was a dealbreaker.

It's definitely tough to accept that 72 million Americans made that choice, and even more than that didn't even give enough of a shit to turn up to vote.

It's disappointing and embarrassing.

Ah, rural Colorado. So beautiful. So concerning. Lol.

Meh. Work isn't for fulfillment. Work is just there so I can eat, pay bills, and fund my hobbies.

So, way back in the day, when Borat was released, basically my whole household loved it. Then, Bruno was announced! Another movie from the same guy, excellent!

Wrong.

I took my mom to go see it. In theaters. I don't think I can really put into words the awkwardness of sitting through that film.

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.
