" ... might there be fewer of them if we got over this fetish for flags, trumpets and epaulets?" Should include: " ... might there be fewer of them if we got over this fetish for "royalty", flags, trumpets and epaulets?"
As a veteran, i ask why doesn't the government that causes damage and death to troops take care of those who were injured in whatever manner? Full (sort of) health care while in service (to keep troops able to be killed or injured while being used as cannon fodder) but on separation from service, many are kicked out and are on their own. It's wrong to have lots of people seem to get to feel good because they send a few dollars to take care of those the government has turned their back on. PSTD, respiratory (drinking, now? Camp LaJune ads?) and other service inflicted injuries often get turned away by VA.
