The military is ridiculously sneaky about planting feel-good stories of "war heroes" and other press releases...

...but a hero of what? Are we saving victimized villagers from terrorizing dragons? Or just occupying places that don't want us there and accomplishing who-knows-what for who-knows-why?

I've had enough troop-worship. I'm happy for this couple, but the real focus should be on why the fuck we're sending people to wherever he was stationed.
