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 think she has always been sympathetic to the men and women in uniform (probably a respect "thing" passed on from her parents), but
perhaps being in NYC when the World Trade Center was destroyed affected her further to want to support the people that are trained to protect this country in times of war. I won't pretend to
know what Stevie thinks, but it's a logical guess. She was following the news and the people of NYC were hearing far more detailed stories locally then the rest of the country. I would guess it had quite an impact.
