Alright, so, I enjoyed the last conversation that was had around this guy's videos, so I thought I'd give it another go. I'm putting it in this part of the forum again, because what he says isn't really partisan, so the folks who like to blow up threads with talking points aren't going to have that much to say here...so more interesting conversations can be had... Plus, if you're going to get into it here, you're going to need to be at least invested enough to watch the videos, so there's that...hehe....
In this series, he does a comparison of how things are going in Portland, versus what the actual military manuals have to say about the subject. I will link to the actual manuals, straight from FAS and Rand, below. If you really wanna nerd out on this, or fact check, there you go.
Full disclosure, this is an academic criticism of how the administration is handling Portland, followed by a call to action in the final video.
I actually watched the last video in the series as I was pulling links for this post, and debated on whether or not to include it, because honestly, I'm too Canadian for that kind of excitement...lol... I'm not an activist, per se...I'm not an evangelist either, for the same reason, if that make sense. I by no means am attempting to drive any kind of activism with this thread, I'm just submitting it for a discussion on the validity of the contents. If I had left off the last video, I'd feel like I was being sneaky...hehe...
Here are the videos. (EDIT: lol...max video limit of three per post, will link to the final video below)
Here are the manuals.
