It wasn't a flame. AND it's not prejudice. It's 
reality. Is it prejudiced to expect a gangster to 
commit crimes and extort money?

He didn't say that. He was applying it to the 
third world nations that send forces out as 
peacekeepers and whom are quite lacking in 
professionalism. I've got Canadian friends who've 
deployed for peacekeeping. They serve with honor 
but still often have some pretty fucked up ROE. 
(that's really the best description).

You should look at the sex trade in the Balkans 
under SFOR and KFOR. It's HUGE now. The main 
customers have been UN troops. Some of that is 
PART Of the reason why US troops have a NO SEX in 
theatre rule. Not with anyone.

Google "UN Troops Sex Trade"
