I did read the article, and I believe I read it with equal comprehension as you. I just don't buy the rationale of these "soldiers" going abroad just to get their lively hoods met. There's more and thats greed. I dont blame them for the paths they are taking, but to come back and say "oh this is because I HAD to do so," is not acceptable to me. They chose a path, now be responsible for it. I have a question for you. If someone who sells his/her daughter/sister for prostitution (to make their ends meet) makes the same claim, would you still say lets think about it. What he/she did is understandable?
