Seems more die from suicide after their service than actually during it...almost 18 a day..
War is such a useless tragic endeavor these days spurred on by our manipulating leaders..usually served up on a plate of patriotism against some cause or another..

Some truth to that. See, we can agree on certain subjects. Usually common logic.
It's not only that some give their only life (one way or another) for the purpose of humanity, but to give it to some gutless twig arm in a suit who thinks we're disposable for their political image is absurd. Like someone played with plastic army men way too long.
