I was watching a movie the other night with Dana Andrews. It's title was something like The Best Years of Our Lives. In a nutshell the plot was all the problems he was having returning from WWII and fitting into society. Seems things weren't quite like the present day ideas that they were all treated like heroes. There were more workers than jobs; the serviceman was supposed to get his job back, which if that happened then someone else got layed off, leading to hard feelings and resentment.
So it appears to me that those that benefit from the sacrifices of the military are quick to forget once the threat is defeated. I suspect this curent conflict will be no different. Reservists that were called-up will return to their old job, bumping the replacement person and resentment will once again raise it's head.
