5. That is so offensive.

My great uncle, a veteran, is buried in a remote cemetery surrounded by woods. Several veterans, who also suffered from PTSD, are also buried there. They went there because they could not function in society - before people really understood much about PTSD. His headstone is not above grade. I still worry that he'll be lost over time under leaves. I know - the sun will burn out in a few billion years and it won't matter. But for some time, I'd like his grave respected. He earned it as much as anyone. If I were Ms Gee's family member or a member of a family of any of these other "delisted" service members, I would be so outraged.

Impressive story to tell young men and women as they try to enlist them ...
