The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.

They jokingly refer to themselves as Team America, taking the name from the South Park-esque sendup of military cluelessness, and they pride themselves on their can-do attitude and their disdain for authority.
