The only veteran that I've ever known who actually saw war was my dad who served in the Marines in the Korean War (R.I.P 9/14/01). He was a man of few words and never said much about it, only that he wished he'd never seen the things that he saw while he was there. That's enough for me to respect ALL vets.
NowhereMan, I've asked myself many times why God would allow a lot of things that go on. Don't beat yourself up questioning it.
