“Maybe I took it wrong, but I thought you were giving me “a dig” using a movie. You know, “shut up civilian” I’m the military expert.”
I try to never ever “dig” at anyone. It’s hard enough to communicate your (my) ideas without being purposely nasty in the mix. The moment you “dig” somebody you’ve lost any opportunity you may have had to bring them over to “your side.” As for using a movie as an example or explanation, I do it because movies (good movies, not the recent Star Wars) “show” rather than “tell.” And, that is infinitely more effective at getting across a point. As for disagreeing with me...good on you. I publish in order to test my thoughts and only if someone disagrees and says why do I learn anything new. That, after all, is my reason for being on FR. Well, that and my cat is tired of talking politics.
