If it's due to history of mistreatment and lack of care, then by that logic we should give all minorities a discount as well.
But here's the thing. Today's soldier ain't even CLOSE to dealing with what Vietnam vets or older vets dealt with.
Today's wannabe Punisher is just a likely wife beater loser who had no direction in life, served a few years, became even more bro, and then went to a policing agency afterwards where he could flex his control fetish over the general populace. That motherfucker that needlessly makes every interaction more intense than necessary needs a blanket of worship for simply having signed up to serve in a military that basically takes anyone? How special.
Our garbage collectors do more difficult and thankless work today than most military. Tending to the Officers golf courses doesn't warrant shit.
