Portraying contemporary war vets in popular culture

Article Abstract:

The veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been portrayed by the media both as victims and villains but never as victors on the battlefield. The public is saturated with the media coverage of prison scandals and its culture knows the mode to honor the casualties and the dead but not the strength and prowess of its warriors, as heroism in war is anathema to the politically correct mindset.
