Then perhaps I've become too jaded. In the world we live in toady, I try my best to not take what others say at face value. It's not particularly difficult; it's just a matter of questioning everything you see or hear, which I find to be rather enjoyable. I learned years ago that there are few things in this world that are black and white. As such, to see these people be so pigheaded is infuriating. Although, that explanation holds water for the civilians, but not for the soldiers.
