    Imagine a child who grew up in lunch debt. Constantly aware of how awful their life is. Now take a portion of them at 18, give them training and weapons and send them to some country they grew up being told is bad and even responsible for their suffering. Tada.

      My mom worked full-time as a lunch lady, my dad full-time as a janitor. We had reduced lunch ($.40) and once got a letter for -.$20 with a $.34 stamp.
