I read the post where you wrote "There are no civilians at the Pentagon." That is 100% wrong.

Asking why you refuse to admit that you made a false statement isn't personally attacking you.

You can pretend your statement of "There are no civilians at the Pentagon" is not the issue here.

So in your reality, no civilians work at the pentagon, and pointing out that it's false is an insult
