Qat wrote What he did was wrong, but I also think the Veteran should have acted differently. Swearing when there are children around in a public place isn't cool coming from someone who should be highly respected; a US military veteran.

so you are telling me, put yourself in his shoes, having fought for his country, seen what he has seen, been what he has been through and have the closest people around him die- he doesn't have the right to get angry and swear because they are in a shopping centre? if anything he behaved in the right way as i'm sure he was tempted to knock the fake soldier right out of him.

He could of dealt with the situation a lot better

Don't they teach self-discipline and control in the army?
The whole point is that this soldier should have been able to control his emotions in that situation.
He can control his emotions and actions when people are firing mortars at him, but he can't stop himself from swearing and shouting in a shopping mall full of families?

touche, i completely get where you are coming from but i still believe if anything he handled himself quite well in this situation, therefore we'll have to agree to disagree.
