[MLK] did not knowingly confront those who would like to kill him.

I would disagree with that point.

Fair enough. Perhaps you have an example, other than to say he had political enemies?

If I were to change my statement with reference to our veterans, it would read:
“knowingly and regularly, often daily throughout the duration, confront those who would like to kill him.”
