I'm just glad we live in a country where those who don't agree with what we are doing still appreciate the soldier who is ordered to do it. It wasn't always that way and there is a lot of people suffering from PTSD because of the way they were treated after coming home, namely from Vietnam. I've had the opportunity to train with a few different nations, mostly different countries from the UK, and there is quite a few places where people absolutely do not wear a uniform if they don't have to because of their military's reputation. I'm a quiet guy in person and keep to myself, people coming up to me and thanking me always makes me uncomfortable, but it's still great to know we have the support of our citizens.
