I think it's pretty obvious that these statements are not 100% universal. I think it's also obvious that they are basically true.
My point is that they are not anywhere near 100% universal...which is why you have to be careful when you make blanket statements like "Foreign Missions is romanticized" and "Home missionaries are treated badly".
As written, those read as universal blanket statement, and do not read well with those who know them not to be universally true.
