Look, Isreal deserves all the hate they get and more. They’re a pack of genocidal monsters. But I’m really not sure what you’re even trying to reach for here. They’re anti-tank missiles. You fire them at tanks. There’s really nothing to read into here.
I also have to note my personal disgust at the suggestion that any member of the CAF would be involved in a training exercise involving live targets. I get that everyone likes to hate on anyone who wears a uniform, but you really don’t know shit about the culture of the CAF if you think that’s even worth implying as a joke. I know members of the CAF who openly proclaim themselves as communists and anarchists. I’ve had a MCpl and his husband over for dinner. I’ve met veterans who talk with a burning hatred for the Conservatives. I’ve heard stories of training exercises where entire platoons unanimously declared that their enemy was “The KKK, because fuck those racist assholes.” I personally know at least four separate officers in the CAF - two of them snipers - who’ve openly declared that they will beat the shit out of anyone they catch being transphobic. If you’re under the impression that the CAF are a bunch of mouth-breathing right-wing fascist assholes, you’ve never actually met them. While those members do exist, and they’re unfortunately more common in the reserve force, they are not representative of the culture of the CAF as a whole.
