"Reporter: Another question Mr. Milton. You and the rest of the Squadron seem to have no qualms about using your power to bring down other nations, even though by doing so you rip vast parts of their society and infrastructure apart. Some people seem to think it's okay since they're third-world countries. Do you think they'd feel the same way if all that damage was being done right here in the good old U.S. of A? If, say, L.A. were torn apart during a big fight?"
