"take it with a grain of salt".....I'm not so sure of that. I've heard of abuses soldiers have had to endure from the others especially those who never experienced hardship...more often than not, they did not complain - just clam up and move on. Perhaps, someone else saw that and reported that to this "tabloid". I'm grateful that it got printed at all to increase awareness that those dolts do more damages at home than they would if they had gone to war themselves. :sad:
If anyone tells you about what they had to endure, consider it to be honorable because you earned their trust to regard them as human with broken body not a freak.
