Our middle son experience this war culture during his service for the U.S. Army in the Sadr City portion of Baghdad in 2007. He came out with PTSD and survivor's guilt, committing suicide by gunshot to the head ten years later. My perspective does not disregard the greater affliction committed against Iraqis, Afghans, and others, but emphasizes the fact that more soldiers die by suicide than during the war, itself. My son did things contrary to normal human instinct, and suffered for it.

When they build nuclear weapons/guided missiles, commit crimes against humanity, kill with impunity; there’s a disgrace on the human race.
