A bunch of people I know serve in the military. Their
families swoon over how heroic they are and how we all owe
them a huge debt. But do we? If they were actually defending
my home turf from a hostile invasion, then yes I would be
indebted to them. But they're not - they're just sitting
about in bases and sometimes fucking off to Afghanistan to
perpetuate the dubious campaigns there. You might say that,
if there was a hostile invasion then they'd be the
ones defending me from it, and so I owe them something for
that. But if there actually was a hostile invasion, I would
enlist myself. So they don't really have much of a moral
highground there either.

Sure, when they are in Afghanistan they see some nasty shit
and put up with a lot of crap. I empathize with them for
that but in a "sorry you have to put up with that shit, you
poor bastards" way, not in a "wow you're such a hero" way.
