rikytik is an unknown quantity at this point
Whoops, I guess I'm late again and probably don't understand the issues, ... anyway, my thoughts: too narrow, I know, but...

Battle zones are not good places to develop theories about justice, who is right and who is wrong, etc. Troops go where they are told to go and they have been trained to follow orders. I spent 3 years in the US Army, Infantry basic with battle hardened guys who had just returned from Korea. Man, those guys left no illusions about priorities, especially for young pimply faced recruits like I was. After my 3 years serving with the 4th Armored Division in Germany, with the only trench duty being sleeping in a pup tent in the mud, while on "alert" to go to Berlin during the crisis, I re-upped into the US Air Force for 4 years cuz I liked the service, but with more reasonable living conditions and fewer brawls. Anyway, point being, look to the management not the employees.
