No offense, but you might want to try to separate the stress and RL issues that you face from the discussion you're having here. It sounds like you've had to deal with some extremely serious stuff, but your anger is misplaced in this topic. I believe that the poster was comparing the relative ease of life in a developed nation such as the US vs the life in a developing nation with a shaky economy. I don't think they were saying anything that would diminish or demean your service, nor the difficulties that you face as a result of serving as you do.

I can't pretend to know what you've faced, only you can know that. However, I do wish you well.
