But why let facts get in the way of a good story?

And that’s a duality of experience our newest veterans face: standing ovations during the Super Bowl on one side, and on the other, a general unease as civilians confront those who went to war for them repeatedly over the last decade (though Alexis and Hasan never did). Aaron Alexis and Nidal Hasan are anomalies that Bergen and countless other journalists may have recast as the new normal. In the meantime, untold numbers of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are succeeding in all levels of public and private sectors because of their combat experience, and not in spite of it. When Will the Media Stop Fueling the Angry Vet Narrative?
This post was deleted for the following reason: As a single-link Op/Ed, this is not really great for a post; maybe try again with something more in-depth on the topic, or else just link this in the still open Navy Yard/Alexis thread, so we don't just set off yet another gun control flamewar here for lack of more discussion fodder. -- taz
