Actually your rates are a lot higher than those of previous wars. Though very much in line with Iraq and Afghanistan. The obvious link there being unpopular wars we lacked the guts at home to win.
Nobody is parroting crap. You’ve just decided to be angry at everybody. Which, BTW, is a symptom of PTSD, which puts you right there in the 4 in 5 the NVVR study says suffer from it. I hope you get better. These movies didn’t insult you, I didn’t insult you. Maybe some day you’ll see that. Good luck.
Your error is that “the PTSD rate” was ever acknowledged much less measured for combat troops during WWII or Korea. The veterans I knew from those wars suffered exactly as much or more than we did.
I’m angry because I’ve gone through a half century of insults, dismissive attitudes, and misinformation. I’m very proud of us and how we fought our war. And really sick of the characatures of us in the media and movies.
