Yea, but neither is blind DISrespect. There's a lot of examples of bad and there's a lot of examples of good. Kinda fucked up to lump an entire group into one side or the other... Don't ya think?
Bet I get blasted for this take.
You spend your whole life doing exercises and hauling supplies, but you massacre one village and suddenly everyone hates you.
So you're going to disrespect and blame the individual that had nothing to do with it because of the actions of others?
I'm not saying that you should let the organization as a whole off the hook, but should we really be putting the individual in the cross hairs without knowing what their story is?
Are you going to put the medic that helped the injured innocent in front of the firing line because other people bombed the area?
The big issue I have with your statements, and those of the OP are that they are extremist. It's possible to have a nuanced conversation about it without resorting to the extremes. No wonder the pot keeps calling the kettle black
Hey man, I just fill deliver fuel for the orphan-crushing machine company. Don't hold me responsible for the monsters who actually crush the orphans!
