[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 408344, member: 3"] In rereading what Dutch posted, one has to wonder what these vets think they were made to do all this for? Unlike WWII vets, they come back home to a country that hadn't been under imminent threat, that didn't see it's very way of life challenged, that wasn't facing a very real threat of being overtaken. The modern vet comes home to a country of self centered, entertainment consumed morons who, unless they actually had a close family member serving in harms way, only relate to the conflict as a telvised soundbite emotion opportunity that was no more real than a movie. War for politics and war for protection are hardly the same thing, so an outpouring of "Thanks for your service" probably comes off as "One more thing I get to do for you, give you an opportunity to feel good about yourself".
