Are there veterans in classrooms saying they can’t read books about war though? I don’t know how common this is but I suspect the original comment might have a point that one side of the spectrum has elevated victim status into a source of power/authority.

You apparently don’t know many combat veterans if you think they predominantly sit on only one side of the political spectrum.
