I hope that I am “mis-reading” your attempt at humor, which I feel is both unwanted and unwarranted.
Many of our troops have faced multiple deployments (in some cases 8-9 over the years), and are suffering tremendously because of it.
PTSD is under-reported or mis-diagnosed, family break-ups, the combat loss of close friends and even family members, DUIs and unforeseen flashes of violence due to the ongoing and unproductive wars the US is waging, all of these things add up over time and have had a negative effect on a lot who have served.
I am a retired career NCO in the US Army and the proud parent of an outstanding officer in the Army Reserves who has multiple deployments under his belt. He has seen the negative results of these missions overseas, up close and personal, and I can only hope that he, or others, will NOT become victims like this due to this society’s lack of concern and commitment to our troops.
If it turns out I am mis-reading your intentions, please accept my humble apology, I needed to get it off of my chest when I saw your cartoon.
