What he is saying is an extreme consequence of what the article was talking about, which I agree is a major issue. I was just trying to explain the reason some people feel the need to express our respect to service members.

And by sharing this article with you, I am pointing out that service members get it, but they knew what they were signing up for and that they are individual people doing jobs.
