our world image? our world image has not changed that much. the same people who didn't like us before are just standing up to shout now. i worked alongside with members of the french and german military 11 years ago. they didn't like us then. in 1945, shortly after our soldiers freed france, they looked upon us with disdain.
we are not here to win a popularity contest. on an international level i will take respect rooted in fear over love anyday. not a fear of the unpredictable, but a fear that if x nation is pushed too far, they will DEVASTATE their opponents.
