But I’m not talking about being treated different under the law, just generalizing the point of hiding behind protective equipment for a world leader.
It’s a matter of looking the part, sometimes, and we can’t have a world leader looking like they’re hiding.
Have dealt with the same on a smaller scale...sometimes I shed the Kevlar helmet and vest, and walked down the street alone and unafraid in the worst of conditions, for no reason other than to look tough and let people know I didn’t give a “flip”.
Sure, you can kill me if you wish. And then you’ll have Harriers and artillery up your ass within a minute (and likely for the next week). If I was truly an “easy target”...you wouldn’t be using inconspicuous car bombs.
Ok...stupid rant over.
