Right. Its not like WW1/2 vets were coming back happy and functional. But they were still able to cope with their scars and disfunctions by having some pride in what they did or accomplished. Even some of the Korean and Nam ones had something like that to fall back on, even with the losses and forgottenness of their time.
All the boys now are limping back and realizing they sold their bodies to the government for nothing more than a shitty paycheck and some weak benefits. Nothing to show for it otherwise.
I got to see it first with my friends, since we were about 18 on 9/11 and then like I said with other veterans of various generations. The only one I still know in there is counting the days until he can retire with a full pension.
