We have to first understand this to fix it?

Holly,
I can't speak for Sigaba but IMHO his question is quite valid. You value supporting our troops, I share this value, there have been times in American history when the majority was quite vocal about voicing support for this value. We are currently engaged in two wars, yet on Memorial Day we have journalists infuriatingly questioning " What is so important about placing flowers on a tomb" or folks stealing a memorial cross for WW1 vets in New Mexico. I believe Sigaba is asking what has changed for the masses regarding this value and why, is it popular culture, lack of personal experience, where did we get derailed from the days when such actions would have been rare shameful outliers?
