I said there was a mosque being used in training exercises. Honestly doesn't bother me that much. Just thought it was weird and could be seen as disrespectful to associate someone's place of worship with terrorism.

But that isn’t what’s happening…

You are intentionally trying to rule people up. This isn’t an honest discussion post. Perhaps you are not aware of how your headline, and subsequent post reads. It reads like a Fox News style post.

Who am I trying to rile up? That is a laughable claim. My headline is 100% true. Not a fox headline at all.

They are being used for anti-terrorism measures. Soldiers aren't learning how to pray in them. Nothing I've said is untrue.

Is this where Trudeau plays dress up? I can see why there would be high security measures and that it can't get posted.

Then nut up or shut up and post it. Asking people for their feelings on something that may or may not exist is ridiculous.

Always fun watching squiggs out a returning poster.

“Army builds replica mosque to train troops on terrorism”

is not the same as

“Army builds replica Afghani village to train troops fighting terrorism in Afghanistan.”

You singled out one building, and “on terrorism” means training on the act of terrorism. Therefore whether intentional or not, you’re suggesting they built a mosque to teach troops about terrorism.

You then proceeded to call it ignorant and when people explained how innocuous it was and how you were incorrect or at very least without any evidence at all, you doubled down and called it disrespectful.

In the most generous of interpretations, you played this one dumb.

Are you being purposely obtuse? It already has been proven without video.

Did you read the thread? Did you see the google images in Wainwright? If not, I suggest you read a thread before being outraged.

First off I didn't even know it was a village. I was told it was a mosque and video only showed a Mosque so wasn't playing dumb at all. You just need to put your 2 cents in everything.

Go insult more people in the Kyle Rittenhouse thread.

This thread is a good microcosm of society on the internet writ large these days.

I thought it was interesting that your friends were allowed to be hunting(presumably with firearms or some other forms of weapons) in the vicinity of a military training facility. Even more interesting that they then approached an “army commander” who happened to be at a training facility and he/she was more than happy to just shoot the breeze with them and answer their questions.

Sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity for everyone involved.

So what it is? It’s ok your original post was wrong because you didn’t know it was a village (among everything else)? Or it’s 100% right? Both can’t be true.

And I’m enjoying this thread too at the moment, thanks. I’ll post where I please

Yeah you can hunt on crown land and other areas near army bases. Do you hunt?

Also they called someone, who then put them in touch with an army commander. They didn't just approach a army commander. You made that up, not me.

Nope everything I said was right. Didn't matter that it was part of a village just correcting you when you said I purposely was playing dumb and created the thread title like that for ulterior motives.

You can post wherever you'd like just please refrain from PMing me again. I don't respect you as a poster and don't want you PMing for any reason.

“Hello operator? Put me in touch with the army commander. Thank you”

I think the good thing about threads like this, is it can bring understanding and add perspective. Thanks to information from posters like undercoverbrother, Knightslayer can go back to his friends, who were offended and explain to them the purpose of such buildings in training exercises.

Yup, I totally see that as the likely outcome here.
