You would cheer on the actions of the Marine in the story?
It is FICTION,
This story is an attack on the Marines, or America.
He would not..
His objection is to using a Marine to represent the "bully" in the analogy..
He would prefer that instead, the bully were represented by some other group, individual or organization..
His point is, the same example could be given using say, a construction worker and an accountant..
It is his personal opinion and belief that the characters used in the illustration were picked on purpose; that is to say, a simile, which equates American/Marine with evil, while the Latino/Sailor is equated with good..
While I do not agree with his interpretation of the intent of the story, I took the time to read the entire thread and try to understand where he was coming from..
I can honestly say I understand his objection, while disagreeing with his conclusion..
