Sure, and while we're at it -- let's stereotype and classify large groups of people based on the actions of a few. I guess all pilots are drunkards, all police officers are bigots, all politicians are adulterers, etc.

Man, why didn't I think of this before -- life is so much easier panting with a very broad brush!!

Sarcasm aside, whether or not you agree with the agenda of the US military, the mental and psychological duress these individuals are subjected to is nothing short of astounding and horrific. I, for one, will go out of my way to help soldiers assimilate back into a normal routine and let them know that their sacrifices did not go unappreciated or un-noticed.
