To the original question, how soldiers are treated right now versus Vietnam, JR Martinez, horribly burned and visibly injured in Iraq, is currently the favourite on Dancing With The Stars.
When Martinez was 19 years old, he joined the Army and was deployed to Iraq. Two months into his tour there, he was driving a Humvee that hit a landmine. He was burned over 40 percent of his body and has undergone more than 30 reconstructive surgeries. His face remains partially disfigured

Deservedly leading the competition . . . . . he's been a surprisingly good dancer.
But that's the difference between a baby killer and a hero who needs the popular vote.
