And back to the bloody radar, I don't really get why these people get you so angry. Yes, they are young and their lifestyle may be questionable, but it's their own country. Do you think they deserve being disliked and labeled by you just because they refuse to assist the States in doing serious military stuff clearly for the States' benefit? Yes, politicians and PR people are getting better and better at disguising all kinds of military operations as 'good for all of us in the long run,' but people involved have a right to not believe that. And that does not make them stupid, worthless etc. They have a right to disagree, why a different opinion causes so much hatred towards them?
