Betrayal So in some ways, embedded in this unit, I begin to feel I've betrayed the people that depend on me to be skeptical; to question the dominant powers and institutions of my nation and the actions it undertakes in the name of its citizens. I am not a military or American cheerleader, not a mouthpiece signed on to some institutional agenda whether I believe in it or not. I am here to ask the hard questions of the people who make the hardest decisions; ones that result in people dying or people being killed. I must remember as one journalist advised, "write in your notepad every day 'I am not one of them.'"Well, I think that sums it up...
He asks me where I'm from and I say Ireland, another partial lie—since I carry an Irish as well U.S. passport.
Good. Let's revoke this America-hating b**ches U.S. Passport, and he can go back to Ireland.
