My impression of them (as a VN vet who went the Vets for Peace way) is that their respective wars were the high point of their lives, that a relatively small number of them ever served in combat, and they are just generally stuck in a time warp.

I've sometimes thought that a few of us troublemaker-type vets oughtta go down & join en masse, then take over the show & start doing things our way.
