The strain the military is required to endure is unimaginable.

It’s so true. When my husband was at DLI in Monterey, CA, there were several incidents of soldiers have slushies or hot coffee thrown on them while in town in uniform. They actually had to have briefings making sure the soldiers knew they could NOT do anything to these people in response unless they were “attacked,” i.e. punched or something like it.
I saw with my own eyes a very pleasant man at the booth for the Democrats (before the 2004 election) screaming and yelling at two young GIs in civilian clothes who had stopped at the Republican table. He was calling them baby killers, etc. They stood there, a calm and polite as could be.
