It speaks at least for me.

Killing people to "send a message" still doesn't make my pants swell.

... this is the Price of Empire. Funny how during the "Pax Britannia," there were Empire troops fighting somewhere every year. And much as with the Roman and British empires, in our American empire, it is the poor who die and the rich who reap the benefits.
