I am not. The article and photos only mention the usa army cadualities. Everybody should be able to makes such simple connection

Lmao @mrdown, you reply confidently incorrectly saying the tweet doesn't mention Iran, then delete your comment, and still downvote me anyways. You're a real piece of work m8.

When you're clearly not talented enough in writing to effectively convey your thoughts unambiguously (even after editing your initial comment), I don't think you have a leg to stand on when defending against the "being a jerk" accusations when you respond as you did to someone having misinterpreted you.

This being said I don't think your ability to speak/write English shows any indication of your intelligence, but when you insult someone for not interpreting your poorly worded comment correctly, it's safe to say you're being a fucking jerk.

You don't want to engage in good faith so you rely on those stupid fallacies.

I dare you to speaks perfectly in a 3rd language.

I literally stated I think it has nothing to do with your intelligence. I just think its mean to insult someone for not understanding you when you're also communicating in a language that's not your first.

What if I said something in your first language that was ambiguous, prompting you to correct me, and insulted you for not understanding me?

Also I never mentioned any fallacies, I called you a jerk for behaving like one.
