This seems to always be what people forget about with war. Sure, we've got to get the badguys and protect our country, but at what cost? Do we over-work our military and push them so hard they are scarred for life just to save our way of life?
Or can we work a little harder to keep everyone sane, by perhaps spending more time avoiding war, or (more realistically) maybe our government can spend a bit more time coming up with a plan to better utilize our troops so they don't end up suffering from PTSD (or work out how to make it so they don't suffer it as badly)?
Or perhaps it's that our government truly doesn't give a shit about our troops, their lives or their deaths?
Either way, I hope this is the last war we have where so many Americans fall for the BS rhetoric about how noble war is.
If it's so noble, why do our soldiers come back mentally scarred for life? And why do we (and our government) seem to care so little about them after they come back?
