I don't know if you saw any of the footage of the soldiers who were captured in their 'interviews' by al Jazeera. One was asked the question "Why did you come here?" to which the soldier answered "I came here to fix broke stuff". The soldier went on to say "If nobody bothered him, he wouldn't bother anybody".
I don't want to bust on the soldier. Lord knows that was said under duress but I would point out the soldier was male, not female.
