I would guess that one reason could be that while in the service, we lived a rather insulated life -- we didn't have to learn to live and work with women, gays or transexuals. As Yo-Mama reminded me, we did have to take Race Relations classes, as some of the new recruits had never SEEN a black person except on TV!
My point is, after leaving the military, many of us were completely unprepared for civilian life, where we were usually expected to work with the general public -- sometimes even working FOR people who were outside our comfort zone.
I think many of my fellow veterans were unable to make that adjustment. As a result, they became embittered, and blamed the people they couldn't adjust to. So, I am sure that those veterans are applauding these EOs.
And the result will be a less effective military, and an endless supply of embittered veterans.
