Having been there and served there, I assert that anyone that has seen combat understands the utter profanity of war. No sane General wants to send his troops into battle, no sane person wants to go, but by being prepared to go and being the best possible army, one that is so far above defeat that no other country will think it wise to start a war, we try avoid the very thing that we prepare for.
Remember that Generals don't run the country (and for good reason) the civilians do. If the army is out doing things that offend you, you have the rarest of priviledges. You can freely vote to remove those that control the army and replace them with folks that think like you, and, get this, that very army stands ready to protect your right to do so. Help them or not, it is your right but never forget that it was the army that bought that right for you.
My wife had the surgery and it took her about a week to recover. two days of discomfort. It was performed by a micro-surgeon using a local. The cut was along a fold in her wrist and left no scars at all. This was about 8 years ago, so microsurgery may be the only way it's being done these days.
