When did he say he dislikes military people in general?
http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=46834&page=3

Start reading on page three between Akuma and I, and you will see how he feels about military personnel.
"Do you know many people in the military? A lot of them joined for money, for college, because they want to shoot people (yes, I have heard a few people actually say this...which is just sad), and for lack of anything better to do.

"I am not going to badmouth the troops, as I know a lot of good people who are in the military or have been in the military, but you are overestimating how noble many people's decision to enlist is, or how voluntary that choice is in some cases."

He isn't shy about talking about bad things they do, and bad people in uniform, but you're pretending he thinks all of them are bad people doing bad things which is blatantly untrue. When he told the story about the soldier that accidentally shot up a completely innocent festival, he didn't act like that guy was an evil murderer, he just acted like he was a guy that made a terrible mistake and accidentally did something horrible.

You are letting your opinion of akuma twist your perceptions until you don't even know what you're looking at anymore. 
No, that thread is one of the things that shaped my opinion of Akuma. I asked him to tell me one thing he liked about the people in the military, and he couldn't.

You are letting your opinion of Akuma shape how you respond to his actions. His tone and words in that thread are inexcusable.

Wrong.  You never once directly asked him that.  Unless I'm overlooking something, the closest you ever came was "So far, you have said nothing about how proud you are of our military." which is simply an accusation/condemnation -- one of many I might add, they probably roll off akuma like water off a duck's back by now when he hears such from you.  I'm sure you'll agree you've crossed swords often enough that that's likely. 

In that thread, all he said about the military was that they are people that are as fallible as anyone else, and that many join for reasons much more prosaic than patriotism or desire to serve, and that the natural and understandable pressures and circumstances of military service result in regrettable and horrible acts that should not be ignored or overlooked. 

What you heard him say, I suspect, was that American soldiers are dropouts and murderers and rapists and he hates them.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
