Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the siteβs, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. Itβs OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). Itβs NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

From his 2015 reddit comments.
Sounds like he very much enjoyed it, lol.
I think that requires a wilful misinterpretation of what he said to conclude he "very much" enjoyed killing given he expressly says he did not. It's certainly questionable, but it's not as blatantly clear as many people are claiming.
Right, he hated doing it so much that he just had to go back 4 times. And then he continued to hate it while he joined Blackwater as a mercenary.
I can't find a single record of him saying he hated it. Many examples of him being disgusted with his past behavior and complacency with imperialism, but in none of them does he say he hated it at the time. Do you have a source where he claims that?
I was being sarcastic, lol. He clearly enjoyed it.
And yet, I wasn't being sarcastic. Do you have anything to back up your claim? Because he has consistently represented himself on this issue, and it fundamentally disagrees with your assertions. I can't find any reason to doubt him or his characterization of himself - which I want to add, is still not exactly great. It's just not cut and dry like you're claiming.
I can't help you with your naivety. If someone continues to put themself in a situation where they're killing innocent civilians, says they can't even explain how much they enjoy "combat", and then tells you they don't like it, and you believe them, that's a you problem.
No, I didn't think you could back your claims up. Thank you for confirming that for me.
