Well well.
I gave you a 10/5, for the very reason that you are freaking right.
I'm old enough to know how most of the BS gets started, although more today's wars are about trying to start fights to make more money off gas, to get oil and lie about it, or simply to see how large a peen a country can get before someone chops it off with a nuclear device.
Your message is pretty much dead on, give or take a few hundred thousand mislead soldiers.
