The similarities between war and school shootings are superficial. Might as well say that war is like going to the waffle house - and school shootings are like shaving your legs.
It depends on how you categorize the killing overseas. I'm thinking more of the individual actions and battles fought, rather than what American leaders say the objective of an entire war is beforehand.
I'm sure there have been many instances of at least some military personnel targeting civilians.
But as I said in my post, I don't think there's many people celebrating the targeting of civilians in war while at the same time as demonizing all school shootings, and I don't think the issue is as clear cut as that.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
