It is not "simply the truth." I point to 6,000 veterans and you point to... what, a story on NPR?
On OC I started a Slack channel on VA issues, thinking they must all be fuming about it. No one joined. I had a Townhall with a lawyer. No one had VA issues; all of their legal questions were about their discharge papers (DD 214) and eligibility for various benefits.
It is simply the truth that the vast majority of vets never see any combat. The tip of the spear is very narrow.
