The saddest thing I hear about are vets who end up homeless and/or wounded with no others' shoulders for them to rest their heads on. I agree with cross about 'all vets'. Of course we first saw this blatantly with US vets after the 'nam war and it was also very much the case with wounded Vietnamese army vets after that war too. A-Personally hitting me hard were the reported dozen or so WW1 U.S black vets who survived in Europe only to come home to be lynched at some point later on.
I suppose the best we can do as those who do respect the military participants is, even in general conversation make sure noone else puts them down, or permit politicians get away with casting them aside. It's like this current Walter Reid scandal for example. All the Dems/repubs in Congress are raving about 'how this breakdown could happen?!' and 'we never knew about it!', but they knew for years there were problems and even had hearings about it-but they didn't care to fix the problems... now that the issue is in the limelight, they suddenly give it the attention it deserved a long time ago.
