Please remember this if you denigrate any young man or woman returning from Iraq or Afghanistan.

I was too young to understand what was happening. But even as an adult I still can't understand how some in the public turned on the soldiers when they came home.
How did they blame joe soldier that was drafted for the war? Did they think the war existed because of these soldiers? They should have all went to jail instead of serve? What? It makes no sense to me. Is there or was there ever a justification given for the treatment of joe soldier when he returned home in that era?
