Reply #1: Boneca may have been more honest with his friends than his father [View All]

That's not too unusual for a 21 year old.

I think you are right though. This will be very divisive. The articles I read today claimed that Boneca said "soldiers" (not just him) were disillusioned with their current mission, especially the shift from peacekeeping to war-making. There will be a lot of counter stories to quash that angle.

On edit - I think the father will change his mind in time. He is probably in shock now, and is exhibiting all the classic cognitive dissonance signs in an attempt to make this tragedy have some purpose for him.
