At first, maybe, but a very few atrocities on the part of the jackboots will bring out the “Mel Gibson Patriot whose child is being marched off for execution” in all of us.
You will never be allowed to know about those atrocities and neither will anyone else.
Ah, but what if it were “Mel Gibson Patriot whose child was left in his care”? Would he have risked all if he was left with all? Harmless grumbling aside, if the jackboots had left his comfortable house and healthy happy family intact, he’d have not risked bringing that fight home.
This lesson has been learned. You will obey and pay, so there is no reason to antagonize you.
