That's true, I feel alot for veterans who have become disillusioned, I can't imagine living with the knowledge of what you've really been a part of. That being said they always seem few and far between compared to the large number of soldiers who have nothing but pride.
Tis true. It’s sometimes very rough. Some people handle it better than others. Some people develop pretty severe PTSD as a result. A large part of that pride comes from a shared experience thats akin to going to hell and back.

I mean it just comes down to the individual. I met vets with repugnant views and I’ve met vets who actually respected those living in Afghanistan and Iraq as actual human beings. Racist vets were likely racist before joining the military.

I mean I knew a kid in high school who wanted to join the marines to “shoot sand savages and terrorists”. Racism doesn’t start in the military it’s there beforehand as a result of ultra right American Jingoistic culture.
