I'll start with the obligatory show of respect for our fighting forces, because, well, they deserve it. Which is why I become especially bothered by people who I've seen first hand act like complete assholes and use their service as an excuse. Although in the back of my head I always wondered if these assholes are the ones who actually fake their military service to try and reap the benefits of having served.
I think what it come down to, is that Saints don't fight wars on earth. Every group has a small percentage that are assholes. They make the most noise so they're easier to spot. If I met the person in your strip, I would assume that he was in the military but the only combat that he saw was at the local stripper joint. Not that I'm knocking stripper joints; when I was in the Marine Corps, the "Pirates Den" in North Carolina was my second home.
