Here’s another vet’s point of view. I acknowledge I never went overseas and this is from the perspective of a Marine’s family member who waited anxiously at his indefinite arrival home. Unfortunately, PTSD goes hand in hand with depression and addiction with many of our vets.
I completely agree that our vets were treated in a completely different manor during the Vietnam war and it’s a beautiful thing that companies like Budweiser want to throw a huge well-deserved celebration for a returning soldier. However, the end goal of any advertisement is to make money and promote your product. Would Budweiser have acted the same way without cameras to display their selfless act during the Super Bowl?
