This is something that I have often thought about but struggled to put into words. I appreciate your examples of famous military personnel mocked and ridiculed by people that only saw them as useful props until their voices became their own. On a related note, I truly despise that many people can only see patriotism through the lens of cruelty and violence. Sacrifice comes in many forms and endless war doesn't have to be the only way to show it.
