Idk, I feel like this is kind of reductive. I honestly more feel bad for troops and veterans. Recruitment takes advantage of people without much money or direction in life, promising things like a free college education, employment, and benefits for them and their family. Lots of people who join just don't have many other options. I opt to blame the system, not the people the system takes advantage of.

Totally true, and also why the practice of publicly glorifying veterans in social gatherings puts me off so hard
The very shallow showing of respect is part of the recruitment effort. It seems like veterans are respected, but they're not - they get a moment of applause during events, but it basically starts and ends there
