"I don't accept the 'this is a war' disclaimer. You can't intentionally target non-combatants in war" (AFChiefRet).

• The history of war refutes such a statement. The phrase "collateral damage" serves as the pretense and euphemism for targeting non-combatants intentionally and inexorably. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Dresden manifest three examples only.

"You expect me to believe that anyone who wore a mask or took the jab isn't a Patriot?" (AFChiefRet).

• The rhetorical question reveals the unstated assumption that patriots can compromise their conviction. The mask can serve as a subterfuge or a means to an end expediently. In contrast, patriots target themselves as non-combatants by taking the vaccine intentionally. The actions political of Donald Trump bears no fault or responsibility for the choice of patriots to become casualties of the vaccine.
