Re: War veterans
A lot of the American soldiers in Vietnam were conscripts. When America pulled out of Vietnam it seemed to be ashamed of the soldiers who came back wounded and maimed and not a lot seemed to be done to help them readjust back into civilian life. I do think where conscription is concerned the onus is then on the government to help them to readjust when they come back from traumatic experiences and especially to help the disabled veterans to have some sort of dignified existence. After all they wouldn't have been disabled if they hadn't been called up to fight something they didn't specifically believe in.
