You know the worst part of this saga is that these young men in suprisingly new uniforms (who supplies these?) have such sour looks. They say that by the time we are 40, we have the ffaces we deserve.

What will these young men think and feel when they are 40? What will they look back on?

Will they ever be able to be positive whole people again?

I know they might be hungry. I know that young guys are attracted to jobs that look powerful. Don’t these guys have girlfriends, mothers, sisters, grandmothers?

We need to put some other ideas in their heads before it is too late for them too.

Still waiting for news from Angola? What an emotional roller-coaster ride it is.
