When you say "at least" does that mean by the latest or by the earliest, 2015?

Yea, I do realise having never experianced anything close to war, asking for it has level of naivety to it. But, at the same time if I were to never experiance it, I feel I would have a level of regret. Thanks for the advice, Steve. I will do my best at any rate and I will see what I can do with it.
