It’s probably not a good idea to 1. pick a fight with a civilian over essentially nothing 2. attempt to extract money from said civilian 3. have one of your group sucker punch said civilian from behind 4. not even own up to it 5. gang up on civilians in the middle of downtown and 6. run away like cowards when the cops come.
To be fair 99.9% of US military guys I meet are outstanding people, but over the last few years, there have been a growing number of young ones who appear to have no respect nor regard for anyone.
Even when confronted by a senior ex-military man, they show little but mockery and contempt.
I understand these guys are young and most likely have witnessed the unimaginable, but that does not give them the right to intimidate and assault the very people they are meant to be protecting.
The US military arguably – and I still personally believe, wrongly – has an image problem, and acting like thugs to civilians in a foreign country in front of hundreds of people certainly doesn’t help.
Why on Earth did the powers that be lift curfew a couple of years ago?
