I saw a piece on tv, interview with returning and injured vets, who are concerned that they are being greeted as victims, and not the soldier who has well served his country.
Interesting, some of them want recognition without the sympathy.CkearSkies

And the loss of a single one of them is too many. Whether the cause is deemed just or unjust makes no difference to me. They are still fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters of someone and their lives deserve to be respected and valued.

I honestly don't know how they bear their losses or live with the fears of what might happen to their loved ones every single day. To all the troops, may our hopes and wishes keep you safe and bring you home to your loved ones soon.
