I have no mental model of you. Only the shallow care about personalities and identities. You have implied that you have served in the USA military in the Middle East and rather more weakly implied that you have spent time in the unsupervised services stateside. Either or both of those claims might be true, but it doesn't matter. Your putative service has not provided you with insight you're able to share through HN comments.

I appreciate "Collateral Murder" and similar releases by Wikileaks and others because they opened my eye to the world as it really is. Maybe I should have known already, but in that case I would never have voted for Bush the Lesser. Somehow the history classes in my elementary and secondary public education left out the important parts.



>> Next you'll be telling us about the important work we've been doing there: something about women's rights no doubt!

>> (commence longwinded sermon about how murderous, racist and generally evil the US military is)

> I have no mental model of you.

lol, sure kid - I'm sure that is your default mode... if those last two sentences actually mean what I think. It would certainly explain a lot.
