No empathy. No appreciation. No grace in defeat, because defeat is not allowed? Obviously good sportsmanship is not taught in the schools and, of course, when it comes to war there is no such concern when attempting to kill someone. I think those comments sum up the general American attitude very well. "Pride goeth before the fall." D.
