"You told him to get out more and if he's been anywhere else. He responded yes. Probably on his own dime. So he may have went on his own accord and not because he was sent there. So I'd guess an unbiased point of view. Just an assumption on my part. Bet he was unarmed as well."


"Just because he has been to a couple of countries doesn't mean that he has experienced a variety of cultures. I have. How I got to travel to so many places is irrelevant."


>> It doesn't mean he hasn't. As far as being irrelevant on how one gets to see these places, it may be relevant when you're told to go, have the population not care for you, etc. versus on your own free will and blend in and make a unbiased opinion.

Many countries don't care for US military presence. Their treatment of you is different than from a typical tourist. It will form an opinion.

This I know as well. But maybe I'm just an anomaly .
