Why would someone be eager to see it unfold? That sounds sociopathic.

People who like this stuff are alot of aspergic people, people who play video games, people who play videos game and like to see real war footage. That is why I am eager to see it unfold, I'm aware that I've made similarly themed replies on other threads, buts it's all an act.

Video game violence and violence in real life are very different things.

What's with the act?

People that like to see real war footage never saw the real thing.
Vets with PTSD can’t watch the news at times.

A game is a game, no one dies in RL.
In war, real people die, in RL.
There is a difference.

I have PTSD that's unrelated to combat, and I know that I couldn't handle footage because of feeling helpless, I think. Probably a lot of people who are highly sensitive would feel the same.

I see where you are going. I've always liked reading your threads btw, and thought of you in good terms.

I just wanted you to clarify what you meant when you said it was an act. I'm not sure that I'm following what you mean. There's no reason to leave the site. I'm glad that you liked my threads.

I have ptsd from being bullied, and hyper sensitivity, around 3x I believe from a normal person. I will leave the site now because at this point, I'm at a point in my life where I am few weeks away from finding full employment, hence i am on here frequently. I appreciated you and Blitzkrieges interactions, and felt like even not knowing you in person, we have good meaningful interactions. Good bye.

I wouldn't want anyone to leave.

I just have trouble understanding why someone would be eager to see a war unfold, especially since it costs a lot of lives and leads to unnecessary suffering, but it sounds like war is a special interest. I know that some people like to watch footage of old wars.

I also have a diagnosis of PTSD, I had no intention to make you feel bullied in any way, it’s to address that some of your comments may be taken wrong by family members of vets.

Buts that the problem I was talking about.

HAMAS is dug in in tunnels under civilian buildings, including hosptials and mosques.

An Israeli invasion would generate lots of collateral damage and civilian casualties.

But whats an Israeli head of state to do? He HAS to strike back. But striking back just plays into HAMAS's hands.

Much like Ben Laden purposely sought to provoke the US into getting into a quagmire in a Muslim country "either Yemen, Somalia, or Afganistan". And Afghanistan got the honor.
