Trowbridge,
All sarcasm and cruelty aside.
I have no way of knowing whether or not attempts on your life were made by the individuals you cite or anyone else.
I want to be respectful here: While I'm willing to stipulate that your articles are sincere, the fact is that they are also, by definition, prejudiced. And appropriately so. But what they would not be is persuasive.
That being noted, I am not going to attempt to evaluate or otherwise characterize your claims.
All I have are my opinions -- as opposed to judgements -- and this situation is far too serious to be reduced to underinformed Internet squabbling.
Be good to yourself. And please consider ... just consider ... taking a break from action at the front. You've earned a bit of R&R.
Charles

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
