I know somebody who recently served in either Iraq or Afghanistan for a fairly significant amount of time. He is a decent Christian person... and he has been shocking me on Facebook. There is apparently a group of veterans who have been making fun of other veterans who express concerns about fireworks on their PTSD, calling them mostly names I can't repeat on this site... basically calling them feminine. This doesn't strike me as Christian behavior, but he insists that anybody who was not in the military does not have the right to defend the PTSD sufferers as they weren't there and don't understand the dynamics.
I understand the concern in general with wanting non-veterans not to criticize military issues, but am I the only person who thinks that this particular situation is taking it a bit far? I don't think military service excepts one from basic human decency.
