it is true that our style of warfare also places huge burdens on a small number of people. And then, our civilian authorities don't really want to fund the military decently, then the civilian authorities make large demands of them. These guys work for not such high pay sometimes. When they die, their families get very little compared to the families of 911 dead. When they know in the back of their heads the society disrespects them like that it has an effect perhaps.

True and a history teacher or English teacher that hasn't read "Tommy" to the class has done a dis-service. An attitude he writes about of public toward the soldiers which after WW2 grew in this nation as well.
