I'd probably be scared too, but looking through his comments, he's literally saying "I don't need my country" and "they can defend themselves." He wasn't exactly endearing himself to the crowd.

You're not wrong, but I try to look at things from the other perspective. Some kid is having his world turned around. His government just told him to go die, of course he's gonna have some negative feelings. Of course, we all believe that the cause is right.. and I hope that kid will believe the same in time. Regardless at the end of the day, that kid is out there fighting whether he wanted to or not and that fact alone has my respect.
