In my opinion, the costly (and unnecessary) Iraq war, coupled with the real estate bubble that was growing unsustainably were the two contributing factors to the 2008 economic collapse.
I don't think Ozy was lumping soldier bravery into his message. That's definitely not the issue here. Some of the points the soldiers here are making at these protests are definitely legitimate concerns, though.
