Indeed. Bolton doesn't deserve the attention or $. Besides, he is the epitome of untrustworthy.

That Godreau fella, does he seem a tad delusions-of-grandeurish to you people? I seem to recall he was injured in the head on some mission or other and that's the reason he left the U.S. military.

Attacking an entire country with what was it, 200 guys? And no heavy weapons, air support or anything? And pre-announcing it on fecking twitter of all places... lol
