Yeah I kind of thought the recent recognition at all sporting events, and "over-saturated focus on military" was more or less compensating (possibly over-compensation but whatever) was in response to how horribly military folks were mistreated and abandoned after Vietnam.
It gets a bit excessive, IMO, but I'd rather see that than veterans being spit on in the street. Because weather you agree with military actions or not, they're doing a fairly un-thankful job that I'd never have the kahunas for.
