Don't be too sure of that. I am damn serious, due to some bad things I have seen.

All the examples you cited are the result of riot and/or duress of authority.

then Dresden and Stalingrad also must be considered as being "riots". I assume that makes Allied bomber pilots and Wehrmacht units nothing more than riot police.

It was fun, but I am bailing out here. continuing the talk is pointless from here on.

No, it may be as tough as hell being a bomber pilot, be he certainly isn't rioting in the
cockpit.

To quote my self from earlier:

For me the point of talking in debate is to find what the ideas of others are, construct
my own ideas from them and to have my ideas challenged, tested and occasionally even
changed. That means there is almost always a point for me.

What is the point for you, and why isn't it there anymore?
