That isn’t how quotation works. Reading comprehension failed you on the second point.
I very much can believe people are stupid enough to fall for trump’s scams. Our education system is in shambles. For example, imagine an adult that doesn’t understand quotations. As for the second “quotation”, I said nothing about “Everyone who works in a factory”. I could have also included some positive examples, as those parallels exist as well. I assumed that was incredibly obvious to the point of not having to be stated outright, and would be excess verbage that didn’t directly communicate my point. My comment was more of an indictment of SOME soldiers. People ignorantly put them all up on pedestals, but if you look around your workplace, you are going to see a few of those shitty people, you get the same among the enlisted. It isn’t “everyone” by any stretch, just like in a factory. They should be judged by their merits and qualities not their job title. Some, maybe even a lot, do earn it, but not all and not by default. Idolatry isn’t healthy, look at those maga fools for an example why.
To your last point; again, imagine an adult that can’t parse information, makes only negative assumptions, doesn’t know how to use quotations. That level of ignorance, persecution fetishism, and lack of critical thinking is a product of a poor education system and the poorly educated and fact-inoculated is how we have so many trump supporters.
