===================

In the rich world of existence where things are not so black and white or agendized, we find that people support some war efforts and not others according to their own judgement. We also find that people may for a time support an effort but become disillusioned based on new information or circumstances and change their view and visa versa.

Sometimes we find that events or circumstances of one's youth, play an insignificant role accept as a formative influence in their adult life; but do not for eternity define one as a this or a that. Sometimes we find an event of one's youth to be character defining and to be representative of the adult persona as well.
