Force of habit, even during the cold war, we took care of them.
Its like having ungreatfull relatives, where you do the dirty work, they whine and moan together with your enemies.
Heh, I have those kinds of relatives. My mother came from a home of 5 girls who were emotionally and physically abused. My mom has gotten over it and chooses to live her life for the future. 3 of her sisters became junkies and continue (40 years later) to blame their lack of motivation on their dad.
My point is many people live through sh!t, but don't feel the world or anyone else owes them something.
