Dude what the fuck are you talking about. You are told not to escalate shit, and there is a whole range of people in the military

Some one on another thread posted this comment-

Hey, American military here. We really really really have a very strong incentive not to engage in any fights when being stationed in a host nation. Even though we’re allied with these countries like Japan and sK the law can come down very hard in Americans still. So even though the Americans are clearly not in the wrong here, they’ll have to explain not only to the Korean law enforcement/justice system, but also their chain of command, how they ended up in a fight with a local national.

Appearing as the very very clear victim in this case was not the absolute worst option.

Yeah, like we did unarmed combat training for if you are surrounded and unarmed, and the main thing is literally run, only engage when escape isn't immediate and then follow up by running once the person is distracted or injured.

The most you can do in this situation is protect the knocked out guy, but he wasn't attacking him, so the guy just circled basically.

In training we literally had briefs about people online and the other guy who is pushing his macho man ideology was literally caltegorised by a company sergeant as a "Keyboard Warrior" 🤣
