You have to understand the mentality of a solider, work with them, be one..something closer then seeing them on a news headline or watching an interview...or having a distant relative that was once a soldier to understand what it takes to volunteer to serve your country. People like this do so with the understanding that those in charge may make poor decisions but it is their job, their DUTY, to serve regardless of personal opinion. So when a soldier hears a person attempt to quantify their opinion on matters that regard that soldiers DUTY, you can expect nothing less then a confrontation.

My suggestion, take time out and talk to a soldier. A person who made it their DUTY to serve a nation. Trust me, your opinion will become very understanding.
