Watching soldiers coming back from there messed up in many ways, just to be reviled and assaulted by certain groups that seemed to be implying that every single soldier that was forced to go there was there of their own volition, and anything they did was deliberate and malicious.

Yes, there were some like this, but the majority were just trying to live to get back home. Some made it. Some despite their bodies being back home, never came back.

My family lost five in that 'police action'. They were all uncles and cousins. Some, I only know through pictures and stories.
