Regarding the Sun Journal editorial about the former Army Ranger who fought in Afghanistan and was shot to death after confronting a police officer outside the Farmington municipal offices:

Of course, “we could have done better by Justin Crowley-Smilek and his family.” We could have not sent him off to war and expected that it would not affect him and us.

Why is that so difficult?

War is draining all our resources, corrupting our national character, and “killing” us all.
