Harry,
I just ignore it. Most of what we are seeing is self-indulgent university "ya-ya-land" psycho-babble.
It is not noble or principled but more a temper tantrum by a class of citizens who have been ill served after enduring years of such bubble-wrapped coddling.
What is truly high farce is that these students have convinced themselves that they are so lacking in intellectual vigor and so emotionally fragile that to step out of their "safe zones" to even hear the details of what these veterans actually lived through would be overwhelmingly traumatic.
They would have us believe that the horrors those veterans faced cannot not be discussed in the presence of such poorly developed -- even childlike -- collegiate psyches.
It is all a sham -- a scam -- and the biggest suckers are the college students who believe this delusional narrative.
Good grief and nonsense!
But not to worry: Once they leave their bizarro university cloisters the overwhelming majority will become functional adults.
Semper Fi,
Mike
