Hang on,
I hope we are not sliding back into the Vietnam era stupidity of blaming soldiers. Once you are a soldier you lose your political independence, you serve the government and you have to do hard, shitty things that most people are unwilling to do - and do them at significant personal risk. You better believe I never miss an opportunity to thank people in uniform and I would suggest that, particularly as a leftist, you start doing the same.
