This is a really compelling argument.

The media (and those who pull the strings of) has worked hard to create an ignorant and fearful people, desensitized to violence. They are told to praise and thank their brave heroic military, but any talk of the victims of their violent and often criminal acts is "unpatriotic".

It is a far cry from the Vietnam days, where conscripts (who had no choice) were treated as outcasts for the atrocities they committed.
