What I learned being a big guy,

13. Not exactly.

I get the reference, I'm no shrimp myself and understand that sometimes that makes you a target. I've gotten old enough that the little punks do not "bow up" as much as they used to when I was "younger".

This is more like if some chump was bowing up and acting a fool and you decided to ignore him and then he punched your friend, looked at you and stuck his chest out more. The obvious response there is to get up out of your chair and stand between them ... making it painfully obvious that the next move will be met with force. We are not the aggressor here, and we run these drills and practice for these events and help our friends get better at defending themselves.

There is no telling what this little fool is going to do, he is not his father although he is acting pretty much the same. If it is being implied that he is being pushed around by the mean 'ol USofA he may do something stupid just to prove he is not weak. We can only hope that whatever this twit does it doesn't lead to full scale conflict.

The only thing "walking away" would accomplish is another North strike against the South. Our presence there is the reason there is no war.
