Nah, this ain't it. They had machine guns and tanks, air support, and outnumbered the defender. Brave would have been saying fuck this and going to jail. You're not getting any awards for valor for standing around in the woods for two months pointing guns at kids and old people defended by a few hundred warriors.
you missunderstand me I don't care how brave they are as I don't consider bravery to be worthy of respect. I don't care if they were brave in the same way I don't care if they were allergic to shrimp
Come tell us how you slew
Them old Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
How bravely you faced one
With your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them damn natives to their marrow
I mean sure, but I wouldn't call soldiers going in with armour and armed with assault rifles brave when they're facing literal children and indigenous land defenders.
As much as I wanna give the land defenders credit and this photo is badass, I think there's a clear power imbalance that eliminates bravery. Like we wouldn't call the American soldiers at My Lai brave for attacking civilians
And how people still talk about how "brave" those soldiers were who went in to force people off their ancestral land in order to build a golf course
Do they really? Jesus christ. :kkkanada:
Atilla the Hun was brave even if someone is brave that doesn't make them not a piece of shit
