I feel bad for them. I feel bad for anyone who had witnessed war and is in pain. But are these not men and woman who have picked up guns and invaded another country?
Stevie is clearly a very empathetic, caring person. That's great. I just wonder why she has adopted this cause.

I like your direct description of soldiers..people paid to kill other people. However, not all soldiers are killing. For every soldier carrying a gun at the "front", there are 10 behind the scenes in support functions...stretching all the way back to the US. Most "soldiers" just have a regular job like driving a truck or a cook. Anyway, I get your point.
