"I also worry about how the media will handle them. I still remember all too clearly their reaction to Timothy McVeigh and John Mohammed (the Washington Sniper). Sadly, it only takes on vet doing something stupid to make the rest of us look like Rambos in waiting."

You ARE a bunch of Rambos in waiting. Someone(the gov.) gives you $1000 a month, or whatever crap pay you get and you're willing to slaughter brown people all day long. The difference is only in what country you're killing people. It wasn't "one vet doing something stupid" that gave you guys a bad name, it was the millions of you dumb fucks that have been killing people all over the globe for the last 50 years that did it. get a fucking clue: people are people-- killing Iraqi's or Vietnamese is just as bad as killing Americans.
