I don't think this is just about scars healing. It is about forgiveness needing to take place. Let us say theoretically, that every claim of/by vets being spat upon were true. And every claim by vets that they were treated like second class citizens is true. And let us say theoretically that the only segment of society treating vets in this manner, were anti-war activists.

A couple of theoretical questions: 1) for vets who feel they have not yet healed this emotional wound within themselves, what can society do to make it happen? 2) are vets willing and ready to forgive those who wounded them, so that they themselves can have closure on that part of their lives?
