This is an unpopular opinion, but I can't feel any sympathy for people today who serve in military. Maybe you guys can change my mind?
In wars like WWI and WWII, countries had to fight back as Germany took over their land. But today, it has never been a clear answer as to "why". Oil, terrorism, opiate production, freedom, money...
So when someone dies during their military tour as a "hero", what makes them a hero? It seems like the only outcome is hurting the family that they left behind. Also I don't know from experience, but does the government do a good job with taken care of the family after the loss? If not, the family is left with a financial burden. To me, that doesn't sound like something a hero would do.
