Reply #20: It's different in a way

Because we feel 'sorry' that they were forced to BE there. AND we are more educated today then we were back then. A military person has to 'justify' their actions in their mind in order to mentally survive. That make talk about what they 'did' hard to listen to, when they are listening to others who were not 'there'. Now days, we generally understand that. We are not expecting these guys to come home 'sorry' for what they did to other humans and other things they might have had to endure to survive. We will nto place 'guilt' on them like that. Or, not as much as before. Society is still shocked to hear of the abuses that happenes. But that kind of abuse has ALWAYS happened, not new.
