We are grateful for your father's service. We are always better than our enemies. I fear though that today we are being too 'nice'.
I agree with that saying "War is Hell." Some of that Hell is the expectations WE place on our warriors who are not treated equally.
Panties on head vs burning and dragging through the streets, hanging on bridges, and beheadings, etc? But in the end--this opposition will thank us (as those before them did) for our decency. Right. /sarcasm on.
