Perhaps some sympathy should be shown for those who fight these wars.

War is prosecuted for economic gain and those who benefit do not send their own children to serve.

Those who enter the services mostly lack the opportunity to better themselves as a result of poverty, lack of education and ignorance.
They buy into sophisticated military advertising that promises not only a career but a meaningful life only to find that after discharge they are forgotten and neglected.

Call those who serve sheep if you must but it is the herders that need to be held to account
