I haven't clicked your link yet or the story link - I don't know who said what about what, so I have no opinion yet. If you write in a bitterly sarcastic style, and especially if you sarcastically put words in people's mouths, as you have done, and then you say "the downvotes prove my point" - it looks very bad. It's a huge red flag that you aren't being honest. This is my advice - not an opinion that you are being dishonest. I'm saying you should avoid doing what you did, because it severely undermines you.

I’m trying to understand your critique and you are right it is bitterly sarcastic but I don’t think it undermines my point. For background, I’ve worked extensively with veterans and their families in the past. War sucks. It really really sucks. It ruins people for generations in both overt and covert ways. I can’t, in this space, communicate how much I hate the atrocities that comes out of war so I use sarcasm directed at all the arm chair generals sitting in their towers riling people up to send their boys (and girls in certain countries) to go slaughter and be slaughtered in horrific, soul crushing ways. Fuck those people with no skin in the game pushing for conflict. This is an equal opportunity “f u” by the way. All war has innocent and combtants raping pillaging murder etc. it goes hand in hand and for some reason people just love putting “our team” against “the other team.” Maybe this proves your point, I appreciate the critique regardless and did try to take it to heart.
