It’s warrant officer first class hence WO1. Thought after 22 years of service some of the ranks and traditions might have been explained to you. 
I tend not to be in these ridiculous hypothetical situations you described as a feeble poor means of trying to imply I’m one of them as you put it. You can use that ridiculous analogy in just about situation you want. Does that mean if I dont take the knee I’m in the wrong too. Fortunately we still have a bit of choice of who we are and what we react too. I’ve stepped up a few time’s in my life to protect those unable to protect themselves. You are indeed an extreme left winger Mark of that there is no doubt extreme to the point that reasoned debate is virtually impossible with you. 

So you're one of them then. **************** off.

What a childish stupid playground level statement, absolutely pathetic. 

You totally don’t know me yet you pass that judgement. Like I say reasoned debate is impossible with you.

You know Mark I spent time in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and with the UN on other peacekeeping missions and saw first hand the results of attitudes like yours ie If you don’t think or say as we do you are one of them. I’m far more moderate and tolerant to other ideas than you seem to be. Feel free to sit behind the keyboard playing the left wing warrior routine.

They were doing nazi salutes, I asked you if you'd condemn them if you were next to them. Your refusal to do so indicates that you wouldn't. That makes you one of them. Unless you happen to have a compelling reason why you might pretend to endorse it.

Or it could just mean he has no desire to get into it with a bunch of hooligans looking for a rukkus.

Maybe so. If things don't get called out, they get out of hand.

Maybe, if it were me beside a dozen angry guys like that I’d keep my opinion to myself, I have no desire to become a statistic. If that makes me compliant then oh well. There’s better ways to get your message across.

Almost reminds me of what someone said on Facebook the other day, ‘if you’re not actively anti racist then you’re a racist’ one of many such ridiculous things I’ve seen spouted 

[Mark J]

It is ridiculous. Everyone should be anti racist.

I said ‘actively’
