to me it's disgusting when people disrespect their military like that. Like the soldier has a choice in which wars he/she fights. You can disagree with and protest against government all you want but why go after the soldiers with epithets and taunts? Some people just don't understand how war works.

I work with three people who served or are currently reserves with different branches of the military. They've told me about their platoon members suffering from PTSD and killing themselves and the casualties of war. The people who protest sometimes need a taste. Til then they're just voices with no meaning in my opinion because they have no ability to contextualize the situation having never lived trough it. Some may think they know but they've no idea what it's like to serve selflessly and see the guys standing next to you crumple in to a heap or get a leg blown off. Few things tick me off more.
