Look at it from John's perspective. He's a 
professional soldier with standards, morales and 
honor. Compare that to a force that's deployed 
for peacekeeping, but uses conscripts that are 
just this side of penal troops for the 
peacekeeping and their number of 'incidents' with 
the locals where the Peacekeeping troops started 
the problem is high.

IF you were in that position as a professional 
soldier, what would your opinion of such 'peace 
keepers' be?
