I think it's interesting that the majority of the troops that are doing the fighting can understand that it's going to take time and understand why they are there even if the anti-war fanatics running around trying to find somebody to surrender to cannot. Severely wounded troops, even amputees, are requesting to return to their units and their buddies when in earlier wars they would have been sent home with what was then called a "million dollar wound". Maybe the current warriors serving their country are earning a distinction of their own just like the "Greatest Generation".
