Unfunded care for returning soldiers, pressure on doctors to limit certain diagnosis (such as PSTD), lies on the part of our military leadership ranging from the capture of Jessica Lynch to the death of Pat Tillman to the destruction of classified records recording destruction of Iraqi WMD during the first Gulf war--the Gulf of Tonkin was a contrived PR incident to open up violence against Vietnam the same as our government's demonization of Saddam when only a decade before he had been our best friend--when you have this kind of basis for a war, like karma, you will never outrun it.

War is hell. Instead of rationalizing why you hate the military, you should be kissing the ground you walk freely on due to those Marines, Soldiers, Airmen, and Seamen who go above and beyond what you obviously will not do.
