Why in HELL would a person do this?

I guess it's easy for guy's who have never been in a uniform to criticize the mans motivation for returning.
I can't speak for him personally, but sometimes I feel as thou I left part of my soul in the middle east.
There are times when I think if I go back, I can get some of me that I left back.
But, when I'm 85 and I'm thinking I'm going to seeing my maker at any time, I'm going to want to reconcile my peace.
Government be damned, they put me in that position in the first place.
This guy probably got drafted, so screw the inconvenience he put the government thru.
It's a hard thing to explain. I guess it's even harder to understand if you never been there.
If you never wore a uniform and took a shot, then keep your pie hole shut!
