Thanks for your service.

World News - NYT: Soldier in Afghanistan massacre 'just snapped,' US official says

 

there can be no doubt this is a horrific crime but exactly what does one expect from a man who was on his fiurth combat tour in 8 years with his marriage falling apart?  The real blame is rightfully placed on those who require this kind of indoctrination for war.  In previous wars a person might experience combat only a few days or weeks a year but now we require them to take repetitive tours where they are in harm's way day after day.

A trite thank you won't be enough for these men and women.
