As far as "owing them everything", I don't think it needs to taken so literally. It's a common saying or colloquialism. It's nothing to get bent out of shape over IMO. It's really a petty thing to worry about.

Also, another thing to keep in mind is that the tribute we pay isn't just for those who served, but for their families. I especially feel sorry for the kids who often won't see a parent for months at a time not knowing if they are safe. Or having to move around and change schools so much, that sort of thing. I would like to think the honour and respect we give helps the family accept the burden.
That's odd, I took the last individual to be female, from the facial features. The soldier next to the "we own them everything..." looks very female to me.


I know a lot of good female soldiers, kick as ####ers that took no #### and were good at their job, be that infantry or clerk.
